Getting Started
Crispy fried zucchini is a tasty snack that’s great for parties or as a side dish.
You’ll need fresh zucchini and a few key ingredients to get started.
Choosing the Right Zucchini
When picking zucchini for frying, go for medium-sized ones.
Medium-sized zucchini have tender flesh and fewer seeds, making them perfect for frying.
Smaller zucchini might work well if you want smaller, bite-sized pieces like zucchini sticks or rounds.
Avoid larger zucchini, as they tend to be watery and have tough seeds.
Look for a firm texture and dark green skin.
This ensures your fried zucchini will be crispy and flavorful.
Fresh zucchini is vital, so if possible, buy or use zucchini on the same day you plan to cook.
Essential Ingredients
To make crispy fried zucchini, gather the following ingredients:
- Zucchini: medium-sized
- All-purpose flour: coats the zucchini
- Bread crumbs: adds crunch
- Grated parmesan cheese: boosts flavor
- Eggs: helps crumbs stick
- Garlic powder: for taste
- Parsley: adds freshness
Start by slicing the zucchini into rounds or sticks.
Then, beat the eggs in one bowl and mix the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and parsley in another.
Dip zucchini rounds in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture.
Fry until golden and crispy.
Enjoy your delicious snack!
