Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut off the ends. Slice them into sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

Breading

  1. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well mixed. Set aside.

  2. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Bread the Zucchini

    Dip each zucchini stick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the bread crumb mixture until evenly covered.

  3. 6

    Fry the Zucchini Sticks

    Carefully place the breaded zucchini sticks into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the zucchini sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
