Fried Zucchini

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

Method

Fried Zucchini

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Zucchini

    Take each zucchini strip, first coat it in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread in; it should sizzle and turn golden brown.

  5. 5

    Fry the Zucchini

    Carefully add the breaded zucchini strips in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried zucchini from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  1. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and dried parsley.

  2. 8

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt and black pepper to the sauce according to your taste. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and the sauce is smooth.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the garlic parmesan sauce alongside the fried zucchini for dipping.
