Fried Zucchini

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Coat the Zucchini

    Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Zucchini

    Carefully add the coated zucchini slices to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

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