Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Wash the zucchini and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Zucchini

    Dip each zucchini strip first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Set the coated zucchini aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Zucchini

    Carefully place the breaded zucchini strips into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried zucchini from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
