Zucchini Fritto Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Zucchini

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

2. 2

   Set up the Breading Station

   In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Grana Padano cheese, salt, and black pepper in the third.

3. 3

   Bread the Zucchini

   Dip each zucchini slice in flour, shaking off the excess, then in the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Fry the Zucchini

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded zucchini slices in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the zucchini fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with a sprinkle of additional Grana Padano cheese if desired.
