Faux Fried Zucchini Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 1. Beat raw eggs in a large bowl until well mixed.
• 2. Slice zucchini into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
• 3. Dip zucchini in egg batter.
• 4. Place on greased cookie sheet or cake pan in one layer.
• 5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan on zucchini slices.
• 6. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over zucchini slices.
• 7. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Let cool. Separate with a knife and serve.

Steps:

• Coat each zucchini slice with egg, then press into cracker crumbs, coating both sides. Shake off excess and place the breaded zucchini onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan fry zucchini until crust browns and zucchini softens, about 3 minutes on each side. Season with salt and pepper.
