This Parmesan fried zucchini is excellent served hot but equally delicious when prepared ahead of time and served at room temperature. Turn your fresh zucchini into a great appetizer using bread crumbs and Parmesan.
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.
