Fried Zucchini Rounds image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 small zucchini, trimmed and sliced into 1/2-thick rounds
Kosher salt, to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup plain dried bread crumbs
Black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving optional

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.

I've tried many zucchini recipes, but this one is by far the best. The zucchini rounds are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
