Ingredients

Zucchini Preparation

  • 2 Zucchinis

Breading

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs

For Frying

  • Vegetable Oil (about 2 inches deep for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bowls: You will need three small bowls. Place the flour in one bowl. In the second bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. Place the panko bread crumbs in the third bowl.
  2. Slice Zucchinis: Cut the zucchinis into round slices, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
  3. Coat Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice first into the milk and egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly with flour. Dip it back into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the panko bread crumbs. Place the coated slices on a plate until all are prepared.
  4. Heat Oil: Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a small saucepan. Heat on medium until the oil reaches 375°F (190°C), which is ideal for frying to achieve a crispy crust without absorbing excess oil.
  5. Fry Zucchini: Carefully place coated zucchini slices into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain & Season: Remove the fried zucchini from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. While still hot, lightly season with salt to enhance flavor and maintain crispiness.
  7. Serve: Allow the fried zucchini to cool slightly and serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch, marinara, or aioli. Enjoy while crispy and warm.

Notes

  • Ensure oil is at correct temperature before frying to avoid soggy zucchini.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
  • Slice zucchinis evenly to promote even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to maintain oil temperature.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture.
