3 Videos | Photo: Fried Zucchini Recipe
Ingredients
- Olive oil, for frying
- 1 3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 medium zucchini, cut into 3-inch long by 1/2-inch wide strips
Directions
Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
Stir 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the panko, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk the eggs in another medium bowl to blend. Working in batches, dip the zucchini in the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Coat the zucchini in the panko mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Place the zucchini strips on a baking sheet.
When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the zucchini sticks until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to paper towels and drain.
Arrange the fried zucchini on a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.

I made these last night for my daughter and they were UNBELIEVABLY delicious. We dipped them in a bit of Ranch (but they're great plain. We are trying to low-carb so I just used freshly grated parmesan (no breadcrumbs after dipping in egg wash and fried them in about an inch of oil in my cast iron skillet. My daughter scarfed them up within seconds. Didn't even miss the bread crumbs. I used two smaller zuchinni, which I peeled, then cut into small sticks. Delicious. Takes some time, but delicious. Eat them right away!

BE SURE TO DRY VEGGIES BEFORE COOKING. We left them in a clean towel for an hour to soak the moisture out. The breading stuck just fine. They were delish.

Zucchini is a high water content veggie, so dredging the strips in flour first really does help keep the panko/parmigian coating from slipping off. Serve them with a thinned down ranch dressing if you really want more zing per bite! A wonderful alternative to potato fries, and a slick way to get your kds to eat (and like their veggies...
