WORLD'S BEST FRIED ZUCCHINI
I have loved this ever since I was a little girl. It takes a while to make but it's really easy and totally worth it. Cooked zucchini is the best!! **However, I must mention that I use garden zucchinis for this recipe that tend to be quite a bit larger than those purchased in a grocery store. If you are using smaller zucchinis, you will need less of the coating mixture.

Steps:
- 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.
FRIED ZUCCHINI ROUNDS
The purchase of an electric deep fryer inspired a backyard deep-frying shindig. For this recipe, I got the crunchiest results from a classic flour/egg/bread-crumb method. Dip the food in flour, then in egg, then in bread crumbs. If you do it once with the zucchini slices, you get a deeply craggy, golden shell surrounding a tender vegetable chip. Dip it twice and it's twice as good.

Steps:
- Place the zucchini into a colander in the sink, and lightly sprinkle with salt, tossing to coat. Let sit for 20 minutes, then pat very dry with paper towels.
- In a deep fryer or saucepan, heat 4 inches of oil to 375 degrees.
- Place flour, eggs and bread crumbs into three separate, wide bowls; season bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Dip each zucchini round into flour, then egg, then bread crumbs (repeat for an extra crispy coating). Working in batches, fry until golden-brown, about 2 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels. While warm, season with salt. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
