Crispy Parmesan Fried Zucchini

A few weeks ago, I shared my crispy parmesan fried zucchini with garlic dipping sauce on Instagram Stories. I got a lot messages asking for the recipe, but I made it up. So I recreated the recipe and actually measured out the ingredients and took some photos of the process. But I’m not complaining because it was an excuse to eat it again.

Here’s what you’ll need to make your own fried zucchini.

Fried Zucchini Ingredients

panko bread crumbs … I’m Team Panko. Hard pass on traditional bread crumbs.

shredded parmesan cheese

canola oil, or any other oil with a higher smoke point

garlic powder

parsley flakes

zucchini … I used a 14 ounce zucchini

eggs

not pictured: salt & pepper

Step One: Prep

In a medium sized bowl, combine the panko, parmesan, garlic powder, salt & pepper, and dried parsley. In a different bowl, crack two eggs and whip them a little so they’re combined.

Step Two: Slice that Zucchini

Before you start slicing, pour about 1/2-inch of oil in your pan and begin heating it up. I go with a medium-high setting.

Trim off the ends. Then, bust out that knife and go to town. I’d suggest slicing into 1/2-inch thickness.

Step Three: It’s Batter Time

I like to set up a little zucchini processing center next to the stovetop. That way I can grab a zucchini slice, dip it into the egg, coat it in the parmesan, and then place it into the frying pan.

Step Four: Fry ‘Er Up

I do around 2-3 minutes on each side until both sides are a golden brown. I suggest using silicone tipped tongs.

Once they’re done frying, place them on paper towels.

I’m a bad blogger, and I forgot to take photos of the ingredients I use in my garlic dipping sauce. So if you’re a visual learner– apologies.

For the dipping sauce you’ll need mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, salt & pepper, and water.
