Prepare the Breading Station
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of zucchini in; it should sizzle.

Bread the Zucchini
Dredge each zucchini slice in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- 5
Fry the Zucchini
Carefully place the breaded zucchini slices in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dressing.
