Easy Pan-Fried Zucchini

  4.2 – 9 reviews  • Fried Zucchini Recipes

I adjusted the original recipe by adding certain ingredients, which I received from a friend. I frequently eat it by myself as a dinner because it is so full of nutrition. Additionally, I’ve served this as a side dish with lamb or chicken shish kabobs.

I loved it. Dripping the zucchini in ranch was delicious.
Christopher Dalton
It was delicious, and so easy. I’ll make this again.

This was not made with a beginner in mind. I experimented with frying on high, and then on a little less and the less worked better. I tried dredging in flour and then egg, but the flour repelled the egg, so I omitted the flour entirely. How did you get the flour to work in this recipe?
Brad Davis
made it exactly to recipe but too bland for my taste. Zucchini doesn’t have much taste anyway, so it would have to be spiced up a lot more if I made it again.

Recipe was right on the money!! Delicious!!
Jennifer Dorsey
Only thing i did differently was used parmesan flavored bread crumbs. Was easy and delicious
Deborah Arnold
I have never fried zucchini before and this was delicious. I ate as much as I had left on the plate when I was done cooking. I seasoned with salt and pepper and these babies were yummy, crispy and perfect!
Dakota Jensen
I will make it again but next time I will spice it up more. It was a little bland for me.

This turned out good but plan on more breadcrumb. 2 tablespoons isn’t nearly enough. I used Panko because they are my favorite. This was easy and one I will make again.
