Ingredients
- Peanut oil, for frying
- 3 large zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Dash hot sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Measure flour into a pie plate. In another pie plate combine panko, Parmesan, parsley, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper, to taste. In a third plate add eggs and water. Dredge the zucchini in the flour, followed by the egg and finally in the panko.
- Working in batches, place the breaded zucchini slices in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined sheet tray and immediately season with salt and pepper. Serve alongside the zucchini.
- For the sauce:
- Add all the ingredients into a serving bowl and mix until incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and let flavors marinate for at least 1 hour.

Reviews
Excellent recipe for fried zucchini. I haven’t had this side dish in over 40 years and this was better than my mothers.
I made my own spicy dipping sauce so I cannot comment on the supplied dip recipe.
EXCELLENT! Used red onion because that’s what I had…… ate them before making it to the table!
Love love love these. Everyone in the house!! Hard to stop eating them once you start. Addicting,, thank you Neelys!
This is my go-to recipe for fried zucchini! So easy and so delish! Super crispy.
Easy and delicious. Made the zucchini exactly as recipe stated. I made my own ranch dressing for dipping. This was better than a restaurant.
I made this in the air fryer, just turned it up to 360 and sprayed the breaded zucchini with Avocado oil before cooking. So delicious!
Perfect
Sounds delish!
I used summer squash and the recipe came out delicious!
I do not fry in any oil for health
reasons. Can these be done in an Air Fryer?
