Equipment
- 1 Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Frying Pan
- 1 Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Cornmeal
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Milk
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Trim the ends off the zucchini and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well beaten.
- Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the zucchini slice in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Repeat this process for all zucchini slices.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the coated zucchini slices in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once fried, remove the zucchini slices from the oil using tongs or a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve the fried zucchini slices hot as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- Healthier Baking Option: For a healthier option, consider baking the coated zucchini slices in the oven instead of frying.
