Step-by-Step Instructions for Breaded Zucchini
  1. In a shallow bowl, combine Italian seasoned bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Slice zucchini into even rounds, approximately ¼ inch thick.
  3. Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure coating adheres.
  4. Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F.
  5. Fry the zucchini slices in batches for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer the golden zucchini slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan and salt.
  7. Serve the crispy zucchini with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or aioli.
