- About 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, as needed
- 1 large egg, whisked
- 1/2 – 1 cup breadcrumbs (see Note)
For Serving:
- Ranch dressing or aioli, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Zucchini: Line a sheet pan with paper towels and place zucchini rounds on top in a single layer. Sprinkle with coarse salt and cover with more paper towels. Let sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- Heat Oil: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Coat Zucchini: Set up an assembly line with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Coat each zucchini round in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
- Fry Zucchini: Fry the breaded zucchini in the skillet until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Drain and Serve: Transfer zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot with ranch dressing or aioli.
Notes
- The amount of breadcrumbs needed will vary based on the size of your zucchini.
- You can use seasoned or traditional breadcrumbs for different flavors.
