Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus for seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
- Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
- 2 small zucchini, sliced into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick coins
Directions
Line a dish with paper towels and set aside. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, basil, salt, cayenne, and pepper in a bowl.
Beat the eggs in another bowl.
Heat 1/4-inch vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Working in small batches, toss the zucchini coins in the eggs, then coat in the cornmeal mixture to cover completely. Carefully drop the zucchini into the oil, and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side or until crisp. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared plate. Season with salt, cool slightly and serve.

I used a fish fry instead of the first 4 or 5 ingredients and got a great taste. I tried the corn meal didn't like it either. Great recipe for a snack or part of a meal.

I made this recipe w/o the corn meal and used twice as much flour - better tasting and softer coating.
