Fried Zucchini Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Dip each zucchini slice first into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Zucchini

    Carefully place the battered zucchini slices into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the fried zucchini in a bowl and serve hot with ranch dressing on the side.
