Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Coating Station: In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. On a separate plate or shallow dish, spread the flour. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the egg-coated slice in the flour, pressing lightly to ensure the flour adheres evenly. Shake off any excess flour. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to get hot and shimmer before adding the zucchini. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Fry the Zucchini: Carefully place the coated zucchini slices in the hot butter, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and tender. (8-10 minutes)

05

Step

Season and Serve: Remove the fried zucchini from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. Season immediately with salt, pepper, and optional garlic and chili powder to taste. Serve hot and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use clarified butter.
Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry zucchini in batches.
Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.

    The key is definitely not overcrowding the pan. The zucchini crisped up beautifully when I cooked it in batches.

    My kids, who normally hate zucchini, actually loved this! Thank you!
