Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced (about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Slice zucchini into thin rounds and pat dry with paper towels.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional Parmesan.
- Dredge each zucchini slice in flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).

- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while hot.

- Let coated zucchini rest for 10 minutes before frying to help the coating stick.
- Pat zucchini slices dry before breading to prevent sogginess.
