Fried Zucchini Recipe

Today I am sharing another family favorite recipe.

This one happens to be my favorite appetizer in the whole world!

It’s something we have at almost every meal {and I’m not exaggerating – we just love it THAT much}!!

I also like to order it at restaurants and have decided that Cheesecake Factory and Claim Jumper have my favorite versions of this yummy dish.

But, really – look not further. This recipe is SO beyond simple and is SO beyond good!!

A yummy and easy way to make Fried Zucchini, a perfect side to any meal.

Ingredients

1-2 Zucchini
2-3 cups milk
Panko Bread Crumbs {Next to Shake n Bake at Grocery Store or you can use regular bread crumbs}
3 cups flour
oil

Instructions

Heat oil to medium heat.
Slice zucchini into several circles. Throw 10-15 slices of zucchini into a bowl of milk.
From there add slices to a gallon bag filled with the flour. Shake around.
Put slices back into the milk and make sure it gets all wet again.
Add slices to a gallon bag filled with Panko crumbs. Shake around.
Fry until golden brown. Repeat process until all the slices are breaded and fried.

{Shake in Panko/Bread Crumbs}

Then fry!

We LOVE to eat Zucchini with Ranch Dressing {homemade of course}. I’m sure most of you have had this before, but if you haven’t, I seriously feel sad for you… it’s one of my FAVORITE things in the whole world to eat!!

For another YUMMY appetizer, be sure to check out these Copycat Cheesecake Avocado Egg Rolls, which are heavenly!!

ENJOY!

Thanks for the zucchini recipe! I've never tried it that way and about this time of year, when our garden is going crazy with zucchini, we'll try it any new way there is. Love the video, too. That's a good one!

I absolutely love fried zucchini, but lately I have been grilling it or just pan frying without the oil. I will have to try the homemade fried ones now thtough:-)

Breaded fried zucchini is our favourite summer dinner. We only eat it once a year, but when we make it, it is all we have for dinner! We have ours with fresh garden tomatoes and lemon wedges.

I’ll bet the zucchini get a nice thick coating with the double-dip method you’ve outlined here. I love both fried or grilled zucchini and panko, so this looks really good to me. I make a gluten-free panko by rolling over Rice Chex with a rolling pin.

Hey – nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. Im currently using WordPress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
