This is the best fried zucchini I have had - even the kids were eating zucchini! I used ritz crackers instead of Panko and loved the cool combination of the dipping sauce.

This was an absolutely fantastic recipe. I am looking for ways to cook zucchini and to master a tempura like coating. I had all the ingredients so that made the recipe a snap and it was so easy to follow. I didn't make the sauce because I was serving this with rice and other Japanese food items. I pulled tomatoes, onions, and zucchini from our garden. The bread crumbs, the parsley and the parmesan cheese were so flavorful - an excellent combination especially for the fresh tomatoes. The green weren't bad either. The onion rings were crispy. All in all, they were nicely coated, fried to a golden brown and were not soggy in the least. Can't wait to make this again! Who'd of thought I would learn tempura from the Neely's!

This is by far the best fried zucchini recipe I've ever tried. Didn't have fresh parsley on hand so substitued with plenty of dried parsley. I think the key to putting this recipe over the top is to cut your slices quite thick. The Panko browns quickly and if your zucchini is sliced thick enough, they don't get mushy. Also used yellow squash & yellow crookneck along with the zucchini and they all were wonderful! The seasonings in this recipe are perfect.
Hubby loved this recipe and has told several people about it. Like other reviewers have said, regular ranch dressing is just fine with this, although next time I will try the suggested recipe.
Try this recipe before any other! You'll love it!

I make fried zucchini alot during this time of year because of our garden fresh zucchini. I was looking for a little bit of a twist on how I prepare it, and this hit the spot! It was great and my hubby really like it too! Stayed nice and crisp and you can serve it with regular ranch dressing if you don't want to make the dressing.

Boring! Based on the reviews, I was very excited to make these. But they were quite a disappointment. The breading lacked flavor. I followed to a T, no alterations. My husband & I were both disappointed and wound up throwing the batch away.

OMG, these were wonderful! Zucchini is like one of my favorite veggies and I like it done anyway, but this recipe is soooo special. I got them all dipped and breaded while I heated up the deep fryer, so frying went quickly. They were so crisp and tasty! I had bought a jar of HVR dip and dressing mix (instead of the single serve packets, so I made the ranch dressing from that and it was perfect with the zucchini. Will definitely make these again and again, especially since I'm adding zucchini to my garden this year! Thanks Pat and Gina for another great recipe! You just keep bringing it!

Very good recipe; very crisp. Reply to soggy middle. My first batch was also soggy. I sliced thinner and that corrected the problem. I like Parmesan cheese. So, I sprinkled more Parm instead of S & P while still hot. Like others, In addition to the Neely's dip, I offered several other dipping sauces. Hidden Valley Ranch dip was the favorite.

Made this last night and everyone loved it! Always looking for something to do with zucchini. I didn't make the dipping sauce because I already had a horseradish cream sauce made which complemented the zucchini nicely. Great recipe!
