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.

Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini is essential for this recipe, as it has a crisp texture and a mild flavor that pairs well with the breading. Avoid using zucchini that is old or has blemishes.
- Cut the zucchini into thin strips: Cutting the zucchini into thin strips ensures that they will cook evenly. Aim for strips that are about ¼-inch thick and 2-3 inches long.
- Use a light breading: A light breading helps to ensure that the zucchini strips remain crispy. Avoid using a breading that is too thick or heavy, as this can make the zucchini strips soggy.
- Fry the zucchini strips in hot oil: Frying the zucchini strips in hot oil helps to create a crispy crust. Make sure that the oil is at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the zucchini strips.
- Drain the zucchini strips on paper towels: Draining the zucchini strips on paper towels helps to remove excess oil. This will help to keep the zucchini strips crispy.
Conclusion:
Uncle Bill's Deep Fried Zucchini Strips are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. With a crispy breading and a tender interior, these zucchini strips are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
