Equipment
- Cutting Board and Knife
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk or Fork
- Frying Pan
- Vegetable Oil
- Tongs or Spatula
- Paper Towels
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs seasoned or plain
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: Parmesan cheese for additional flavor
Instructions
- Wash the zucchini and slice them into thin rounds or strips, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
- In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to create the coating mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. If you have a thermometer, aim for a temperature of around 350�F (175�C).
- Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the slice in the coating mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the zucchini to adhere.
- Carefully place the coated zucchini slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they turn golden brown, usually about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the fried zucchini chips to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Optional: While still warm, sprinkle the zucchini chips with Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve the fried zucchini chips immediately as a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Thin Slices: Cut zucchini into thin, uniform slices for consistent frying.
- Dry Before Coating: Pat zucchini slices dry to help the coating adhere better.
- Even Coating: Ensure each slice is evenly coated in the egg and breadcrumb mixture.
- Oil Temperature: Maintain oil around 350�F (175�C) for optimal frying results.
- Drain Excess Oil: Place fried zucchini on paper towels to absorb any excess oil before serving.
