Ingredients
- 1 zucchini
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 egg beaten
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch slices. Set aside.
- In a wide, shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, garlic powder, black pepper, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Put the flour in a second bowl and the beaten eggs in a third.
- Coat the zucchini slices in flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat them in the breadcrumbs mixture. Place on a sheet of parchment paper in a single layer.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Carefully add coated zucchini slices to the hot oil (you may need to work in batches depending on the size of your pan).
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until golden, flipping halfway through. Some slices may take longer to cook so remove them as they are ready.
- Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve while warm with chipotle ranch dressing.
