Fried Zucchini
An easy recipe for a delicious side, using our garden's favorite spring surplus.
Equipment
- Dutch oven/deep fryer/frying pan.
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini medium, sliced into ¼ inch disks.
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- salt to taste
- oil (preferably peanut) for frying
Instructions
- Heat deep frying oil (or pan frying if preferred), to 350℉.
- Slice zucchini and set aside. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside. Pour breadcrumbs into a shallow dish (I like to use a pie pan).
- Working in batches, dip each of the zucchini slices into the eggs, then evenly coat on each side with breadcrumbs. Place in fryer until golden brown and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and salt to taste.
- Serve with ranch, marinara, or other preferred dipping sauce if desired.
