Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for small, firm zucchini that are free of blemishes. Avoid large zucchini, as they tend to be more watery and less flavorful.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Coat the zucchini slices in flour: This will help them brown and crispy. You can use all-purpose flour, bread crumbs, or a mixture of both.
  • Fry the zucchini slices in hot oil: Use a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, carefully add the zucchini slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and tender.
  • Drain the zucchini slices on paper towels: This will help remove any excess oil.
  • Season the zucchini slices with salt and pepper: To taste.
