Fried Zucchini Ingredients

Method

Fried Zucchini Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Wash and slice the zucchini into thin shoestring strands, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Dredge in Milk

    Soak the zucchini strands in milk for about 10 minutes to soften them.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Bread the Zucchini

    Remove zucchini from the milk and let excess drip off. Dredge each strand in the seasoned flour mixture until well-coated.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  6. 6

    Fry the Zucchini

    Carefully add the coated zucchini strands to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove fried zucchini from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle grated Romano cheese on top while still hot, and serve immediately.
