Heat the Oil:

Fill a large frying pan halfway with vegetable oil.

Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) or until a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.

Fry the Zucchini:

Fry the breaded zucchini in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy.

Remove fried zucchini with a slotted spatula and drain on paper towels.

Serve:

Serve the fried zucchini hot.

Garnish with grated Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauces on the side.

Tips:

Crispy Texture: Ensure the oil is properly heated before frying to achieve crispy zucchini instead of soggy.

Seasoning Variations: Experiment with the breadcrumb mixture by adding spices like cayenne pepper, grated Parmesan, or Italian herbs based on your preference.

Healthier Option: For a lighter alternative, bake the breaded zucchini. Spray the coated slices with cooking spray, place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy this crispy fried zucchini as a delicious snack, side dish, or appetizer that’s sure to please everyone!
