I felt like it didn't brown very well and turned soggy quickly.

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.

Thanks to the suggestion of pre-coating zucchini w/ corn starch, my whole family and I were completely impressed by this side dish to our pulled pork sandwiches. They turned out great and I thought they were very simple to make!

this recipe may have been good if it actually worked! the panko and parmesan would not stick to the zucchini long enough to get into the oil, and what did stick went all over in the oil. what an awful mess!

This was relatively simple to make. I didn't have japanese panko on hand, so i used italian seasoned breadcrumbs, but it worked just fine for me. They taste better than the ones I buy at the resturaunts! Made them for a Super Bowl Party along with the Fried Mozzarella, and everyone loved it. Definitely keeping this recipe!

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.

We loved these with zucchini. Also, the coating is excellent on canned artichoke hearts!

These are the best strips. The panko really makes a BIG difference
