INGREDIENTS
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Coating Stations:
Place the flour in a shallow bowl.
In another shallow bowl, add the beaten eggs.
In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Zucchini Slices:
Dredge each zucchini slice in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, coat the zucchini slice with the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat with all the zucchini slices.
Cook the Zucchini:
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the coated zucchini slices in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Serve:
Remove the crispy zucchini from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your crispy zucchini in just 5 minutes!
