Prep: 15min

Total: 30min

Yield: 6 – 8 serving(s)

Ingredients:

• 3 medium zucchini, about 1 1/2 lbs.
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt, divided, plus more for serving
• 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1/3 c. milk
• 1 c. seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/3 c. grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Chopped parsley, for serving
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instruction:

1. Cut the zucchini into french-fry like pieces, about 3 inches long by 1/2-inch wide. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and place in a single layer on a paper towel lined sheet tray. Set aside for 10 minutes, then pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Meanwhile, place the flour on a plate. In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another wide, shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
3. Working 3 to 4 zucchini pieces at a time, dredge in the flour to coat completely, dip in the egg mixture, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside in a single layer on a sheet tray.
4. Preheat the oven to 200°.
5. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet filled with about 1/2-inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until very hot (about 350 degrees). Working in batches, cook 8 to 10 pieces of zucchini in a single layer until golden brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and transfer to a wire rack set over a sheet tray (or a sheet tray lined with paper towels). Hold the fried zucchini warm in the oven. Continue to fry the remaining zucchini adding more oil as needed to the skillet.
6. Serve warm topped with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if you like.
