Crispy Fried Zucchini

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ground black pepper to taste
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 3 zucchinis, sliced
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
• salt to taste

Steps

1. Mix bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl until well combined. Place beaten eggs in a small bowl.
2. Dip zucchini slices into eggs, then press into bread crumb mixture to coat, shaking off excess. Place breaded zucchini onto a plate in a single layer.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry breaded zucchini in hot oil in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
4. Sprinkle fried zucchini with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese and salt to serve.
