Breaded Zucchini

Not rated yetRate it

Breaded zucchini is a simple pan fried dish made from sliced zucchini coated in flour egg and breadcrumbs. Proper draining of zucchini prevents soggy coating and helps breadcrumbs stay crisp. Quick frying over medium heat gives a golden crust while keeping zucchini tender inside. This dish works well as a snack side dish or light meal.

Preparation

7 steps · tap a step to mark it done

  1. Wash zucchini and cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Season lightly with salt and let rest briefly so excess moisture releases.

  2. Pat zucchini slices dry with paper towels. Removing moisture helps breading adhere better.

  3. Prepare three bowls with flour beaten eggs and breadcrumbs. Season eggs lightly with salt and black pepper.

  4. Coat each zucchini slice first in flour then in egg and finally in breadcrumbs. Press breadcrumbs gently so coating sticks evenly.

  5. Heat oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Oil should be hot but not smoking.

  6. Fry zucchini slices in batches until golden on both sides. Turn carefully so coating stays intact.

  7. Remove slices from pan and drain briefly on paper towels. Serve hot. ENJOY!

Cook’s note

Salting zucchini lightly before breading improves texture.
Oil temperature should stay moderate for even browning.
Do not overcrowd the pan.
Zucchini tastes best right after frying.
