Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini about 1 ½ lbs
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- 2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
- canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Trim the ends off the zucchini and slice into ½-inch disks.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. On a shallow plate, combine parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- Add ½-inch of oil to a medium sized skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350°F using a thermometer.
- Dredge the zucchini in flour and shake off any excess. Dip in the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing to adhere. Repeat with the remaining slices.
- Add zucchini to the hot oil in small batches cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels. Season with additional salt if desired.
