Ingredients

  • 4 medium to large zucchini
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Marinara optional

Instructions

  • Set up 3 bowls. One with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one mixed with Italian breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
  • Dip each stick in the flour, then in the eggs, and then in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat ½ inch of oil in a Dutch oven or heavy skillet. Working in batches, fry the zucchini for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain any excess grease. Serve with warm marinara sauce.
