Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients to whip up your Crispy Fried Zucchini:

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients ready, follow these simple steps to create your crispy masterpiece:

  1. Begin by heating vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. You’ll want enough oil to submerge the zucchini slices for frying.
  2. While the oil is heating, set up a dredging station: in one bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the two eggs until fully combined. In a final bowl, place the seasoned breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each zucchini slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess flour before dipping it into the beaten eggs.
  4. After the eggs, coat the zucchini slice in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing down gently to ensure they adhere well.
  5. Once the oil is hot (you can test this by dropping a small piece of zucchini; it should sizzle), carefully add the breaded zucchini slices in batches. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even frying.
  6. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  7. Continue frying the remaining zucchini slices until they are all golden brown.
  8. Once done, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.

Serve these crispy fried zucchini with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or marinara, and enjoy the delicious crunch! Whether enjoyed alone or shared with friends, this recipe is sure to impress and satisfy your snack cravings.
