I served this recipe at my fourth of July party and I ran out in less than 10 minutes! I used 15 zucchini's! People just couldn't get enough of them, even the people that told me they really didn't like zucchini! Thanks Giada for a great and easy recipe!

This turned out pretty good. I used 1 zucchini from my garden and reduced the other ingredients since there's only two of us in my house. I dipped in flour first so the egg would stick to it and this worked out well. It needed some ranch dressing for dipping though. I would use this recipe again.

I've used panko in place of bread crumbs before for that extra crunch, but never thought of adding it with parmesan. The parmesan gave it enough flavor that it didn't need any other seasonings. To cut chopping time, you can just cut it into rounds too. I followed the recipe and it turned out fine..
Great Appetizer!!

I make this recipe like crazy now!! Crunchy goodness wrapped around tender Zucchini!! I really enjoy this dish~I do dust the zucchini in cornstarch with salt and pepper before the egg mixture to help adhere the panko.We dip them in buttermilk ranch~YUM!!!
Great Zucchini! Worth The Effort!

User: Caroline from Glendale, AZ User Rating:
Very good zucchini. I used half of the parmasean called for because I was afraid a cup and a half would be too strong for my own taste. The panko does have a terrible time sticking. I wouldn't rate the recipe lower because of that. The sticking problem seems to stem from the egg itself slipping off the sticks which doesn't give the Panko too much of a chance once that happens. By dredging each stick in flour first before dipping in the egg would help create more of a bondable surface. This is the second time I've made this and would do it again but with my preferred amount of parmasean. Oh yes, one more tip. When I saw this being made on TV the panko mixture was spread out a bit more on a flat surface and each stick was sort of gently rolled over it. I made the mistake of just thowing the sticks in a panko & parmasean filled bowl which doesn't work as well. She said on the show to genly roll each stick. Once you do get each completed stick in the hot oil the frying action seems to help it all glue together.

I am not a big zucchini fan but this recipe is great. The zucchini was soft as butter but still flavorful and the planko made a great topping. I did lose some of tghe yopping while frying, didn't stick as well as I would have liked.

I made this tonight and was greeted with Wows from the family. I did as others suggested and coated the zucchini in corn starch first. I added garlic salt and pepper to the panko but saved all the parmesean for presentation along with lemon wedges. I sliced my zucchini lengthwise on a mandolin to about 1/8th inch thickness and fried in peanut oil. It turned out crispy with no greasy residue. Thanks Giada for inspiring home cooks to experiment a little!

The panko-and-parmesan breading was lovely, but it didn't stick very well on its own, even with pressing; I had much better luck when I coated the zucchini with flour first. I also had much more breading than I needed - I'd recommend having an extra zucchini on hand just in case.
Fantastic! Husband, 2.5 year old, and 15 month old loved it!

This summer our garden produced tons of zucchini--we needed new ways to eat it all! This is my family's new favorite zucchini recipe. I modified it slightly, using regular bread crumbs, and mixing olive oil and vegetable oil for frying. Also, I took another reviewer's advice and lightly dusted the zucchini with corn starch before dipping it in the egg. This recipe is worth the prep and clean up.
So Good!!

I had a little trouble keeping the oil temp consistent, and you can't put too many zucchini in the panko after egging them or it'll get clumpy and messy. Making this for a family of 5 is a little tedious, but overall they came out good.

I didn't have the correct cheese or breadcrumbs on hand, but I think it turned out okay. If I try it again I will either use the correct stuff or just add my own spices. I also had some of the breading fall off while frying, but it was better than my previous experiences. Overall, I would like to try this again.

This is a very good recipe for fried zucchini. I really liked the lightness of the panko crumbs. Next time I will smash up the crumbs a little and cut my zucchini a little thicker. I think my sticks were too thin because the zucchini was a little over cooked. Put alot of panko in the dish because they will get a little wet and clumpy after the first batch. Try these with ranch dressing!

After tasting wonderful Panko breaded zucchini sticks at an LA establishment, I tried this recipe. I'm somewhat disappointed. The Panko crumbs did not adhere very well to the zucchini and I had more crumbs in the oil than on the sticks. Also, the Parmesan cheese seemed to be a bit too much. I followed the recipe exactly as printed. I will probably modify this recipe as I continue to search for a good recipe for Panko breaded zucchini sticks.

Tried this recipe last night and loved it so much, I had to write my first FoodTV review. Definitely recommend dredging zucchini in flour first. I only had Romano cheese, but it still turned out fabulous. Added garlic powder & pepper to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor. The zucchini turned out so crisp, even after they cooled down. The Panko makes all the difference. I'm going to try this Panko/cheese breading next time I do chicken strips. Great recipe!

Overall we loved this recipe! They were definately restaurant quality. Next time I am going to add some garlic powder and maybe onion powder to the dry ingredients before covering the zucchini because we are big flavor people and in my opinion these need just a touch more flavor. Also, if you are making a big batch of these make sure to keep the done ones in the oven to keep warm, because these things get cold fast! Other then those two very minor things, these were really great!

These had a very nice flavor, but the olive oil started smoking before it even reached temperature. I turned it down and added some canola oil to make it a bit sturdier under fire. Also quite a bit of the panko fell off when I added the zucchini to the oil. Maybe it would have adhered better if I had crushed the panko and the cheese to a smaller consistency before rolling them in the mixture. Would probably not make again.
I like zucchini even better now

I took the time to pick up some panko at the store and it made all the difference in this recipe. The light crunchy texture is a perfect compliment to the mellow zucchini. I happened to have some locatelli on hand, which is a stronger and more pungent cheese than parmesan, so I mixed the two for an extra kick. I didn't have any touble at all breading the spears and they fried up beautifully. What an easy and quick accompaniment. And I can't wait to use the panko again.
Yum.

This recipe was tasty. However, we could not find "panko" at the grocery store, and it is a rather big, diverse place. We just substituted italian seasoned bread crumbs. By the end, the bread crumbs weren't really sticking too well, but they were still tasty. Even better dipped in marinara sauce.

I prepared the entire meal from this show, the lasagna rolls, the fried zucchini and the doughnuts for dessert. All of them were delicious, but these were our family's favorite. I could not find the panko (japanese bread crumbs) so I substituted the regular italian bread crumbs. They cook up in no time and they were so tasty, and a great way to get the kids to eat a veggie. I use the same breading for chicken on occasion so we were delighted that it worked on the zucchini so well. Will definitely serve often.

This dish didn't turn out well but I think the problem was more mine than the recipe. After the first few pieces, I ended up with a gooey mess in the crumb mixture and it went downhill from there. Most of the zucchini ended up batterless. I liked the overall flavor and will try one reviewer's suggestion of dipping the veggies in flour before the egg. It's also important to make sure that you drain off the excess egg before putting in dry mixture. I loved the Panko and parm mix.
Very good

Good, but not great. Maybe I just have an aversion to deep fried foods that I make myself, because I don't mind when my husband does it. I had to add more panko than called for for anything to adhere, and there was still more breading off the zuch's than on. But maybe that's the nature of deep frying. I actually liked the leftovers better- t5he parmesan was more prevalent for some reason.
Great way to enjoy veggies

These zucchini sticks are excellent. The only issue I had was that my oil was too hot at first and the first batch got a little too brown. The second batch was excellent.

Soooo good. Even my son-in-law who doesn't eat veggies, loved them. The panko gives it a crunchy and light flavor. Another Giada recipe that goes in my file.

These zucchini sticks were very good once done, but the recipe is rather tedious and time consuming, I thought.

This was very simple. The Panko bread crumbs make the zucchini much crispier than regular crumbs. Flavor was great.

Best Fried Zucchini Recipe Yet!!

I have tried many fried zucchini recipes in the past, but none of them had quite the right crunch/flavor. I am on a low carb diet so instead of the Japanese flour I used Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour. By adding the parmesan cheese to the flour it gave it the perfect flavor and the cooking time gave it an great firm, but soft texture. I won't bother going back to any of the old recipes I have used in the past. I'm sticking with this one!!!
Wow!!

These were so fantastic and easy to make! What a great way to get my 5 kids to eat their veggies. I couldn't keep the plate filled in between frying in batches! I had some summer squash on hand and fried that up too...came out great! Thanks for another winner, Giada!

I love fried zucchini, and thought it was something I would only be able to have at restaurants - but this was easy and great. I like the idea someone on here wrote about dusting w/ flour before dipping into the egg and then panko - I absolutely think that would help, and will try that next time! I wish I had read that review before making these. But still, they were yummy. I dipped them in a touch of ranch dressing.

My Fried Zucchini turned out inedible. The Panko did not adhere to the zucchini and fell off to burn in the oil. Maybe try dusting w/ flour to dry the vegetable before dipping in egg & breadcrumb. I'll try again.

These were SO yummy. I'd never worked with Panko before. I found it easily at my local market (Ralphs), and it did add just a perfect crunch. The zuchini sticks were a big, big hit with my family, and the friends I fed that night, too. This recipe is a total keeper.
So good!

My kids are very picky and it's tough to get them to eat anything resembling a vegetable, but they LOVED the fried zucchini. My husband also avoids veggies whenever possible and he gobbled them down. This is definitely going to be a regular dish in our house!

My husband and I saw her make this on show this morning and just had to make it for dinner because it looked so good. It was simple and fun to make. My husband did the frying and I did the seasoning...we made other variations along with her parmesan topping...we tried sea salt, seasoning salt, and popcorn salt. They were all great.
