Instructions
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat your skillet for frying.
Wash and slice the zucchini into even pieces.
In separate bowls, set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with your chosen spices.
Breading
Dip each zucchini piece first in the flour, then in the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Cooking
Bake or fry the coated zucchini until crispy and golden brown, about 20 minutes for baking or until they float for frying.
Notes
For the best results, slice the zucchini evenly to ensure even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Consider adding grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture for a delightful twist.
