- Cut zucchini in half cross-wise, then into 3 ½ x ½ inch batons.
- Season the zucchini pieces with 1 teaspoon of salt and let them sit for 10 minutes before patting them dry.
- 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.
