Description

Enjoy Fried Zucchini for a quick and tasty dish. Its crispy texture and flavorful breading make it a great appetizer or side dish that everyone will love. Perfect for those looking for an easy homemade recipe!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound zucchini
  • 1 ½ teaspoon plus extra kosher salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup italian breadcrumbs
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Cut zucchini in half cross-wise, then into 3 ½ x ½ inch batons.
  2. Season the zucchini pieces with 1 teaspoon of salt and let them sit for 10 minutes before patting them dry.
  3. Prepare a dredging station with three bowls: mix flour and baking soda in the first bowl; beat eggs with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and buttermilk in the second bowl; place breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
  4. In batches, dredge zucchini in each bowl, shaking off any excess before moving to the next bowl.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor; storage will soften the zucchini.
