- In a large bowl, mix the flours with the dried oregano, sea salt, sweet paprika and chili flakes. Mix well.Add in the zucchini and mix with your hands so they are coated with the flour mix.
- Heat the oil in your fryer. Fill another bowl with water.When the oil is hot, take a zucchini piece, and dip it into the water and immediately, very carefully, drop it into the hot oil. You can use a tool to hold the eggplant slice if you prefer. Repeat for another three-four slices.
- Fry zucchini until they are golden brown.Remove from hot oil with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to drain any oil (or drain in the fryer wire basket).Continue the process until all zucchini slices are fried.
