Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchini
- 150g cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite), grated
- 300g all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchini and cut them into round slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Set Up Your Dredging Station:
- In one bowl, place the flour.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- In a third bowl, mix the grated cheese with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Coat the Zucchini:
- Dip each zucchini round into the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Finally, press it into the grated cheese mixture, ensuring the cheese sticks well to both sides.
- Fry the Zucchini:
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the coated zucchini rounds in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan).
- Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve:
- Remove the zucchini rounds from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately while they’re hot and crispy.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add some Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the cheese mixture.
- These zucchini rounds make a great side dish or appetizer and pair well with a marinara or ranch dipping sauce.
Enjoy your cooking!
