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

Notes
For maximum crispiness, ensure zucchini slices are uniform and fry in small batches. Adjust seasoning to taste. Can substitute breadcrumbs with panko for added crunch.
