I love this Fried Zucchini. It is tossed in some beaten eggs, then breaded in panko and parmesan. What is there not to love? These are a perfect side dish, appetizer or just a snack dipping into your favorite dressing like your favorite ranch or blue cheese. Yes!

Oh, so good! Simple Fried Zucchini

Whether you serve this dish as a side dish or as an appetizer, I think the perfect dressing to use is a Ranch Dressing, and honestly, I think you can’t beat the Hidden Valley Ranch with the packages. I keep that dressing in my refrigerator for foods like this. There are some great recipes out there for homemade ranch dressing, but who needs to when all your seasonings are in a packet! https://www.hiddenvalley.com

I served these alongside my Eggplant Rollatini. I think this was the perfect side dish for that recipe. It would be great with my red sauced lasagna too! https://the2spoons.com/beef-and-italian-sausage-lasagna/

Here’s the recipe! Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • Olive oil for frying
  • 1 3/4 cups freshly grated parmesan
  • 1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch wide strips

Instructions
 

  • 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.
