Ingredients

  • ½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
  • salt to taste

Directions

Step 1
Mix together bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, and black pepper in a shallow bowl until well combined. Place beaten eggs in a small bowl.

Step 2
Dip zucchini slices into eggs, then press into bread crumb mixture to coat, shaking off excess. Place breaded zucchini onto a plate; do not stack.

Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry breaded zucchini in hot oil in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 4
Sprinkle fried zucchini with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and salt to serve.
