– Cutting Board and Knife – Mixing Bowls – Whisk or Fork – Frying Pan – Vegetable Oil – Tongs or Spatula – Paper Towels
– 2 medium-sized zucchini – 1 cup all-purpose flour – 1 cup breadcrumbs seasoned or plain – 2 eggs – 1 teaspoon salt or to taste – 1/2 teaspoon black pepper – 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder – Vegetable oil for frying – Optional: Parmesan cheese for additional flavor
1. Wash the zucchini and slice them into thin rounds or strips, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. 2. In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to create the coating mixture. 3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. If you have a thermometer, aim for a temperature of around 350°F (175°C).
4. Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dredge the slice in the coating mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the zucchini to adhere. 5. Carefully place the coated zucchini slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they turn golden brown, usually about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the fried zucchini chips to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. 8. Optional: While still warm, sprinkle the zucchini chips with Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor. 9. Serve the fried zucchini chips immediately as a delicious snack or appetizer.
