A couple of days ago, while planning a meal out of all leftover ingredients we had in the fridge. I realized we still had some zucchini, I immediately thought of my moms recipe “fried zucchini”. I used to love this snack/side dish as a kid, but haven’t had them in years. I have to say, I got excited making it and I love to share this simple recipe with you today.

Let’s get choppin’…

These are the things you will need:

Start by cutting your zucchini in thin slices

lay them out on your cutting board so you can season them with salt and pepper, if you like things spicy you can also add chilli powder or any other spices.

make sure you get both sides!

Now get some canola oil hot in a medium size pan and start with the egg/flour coating

and off they go into the hot oil…

fry them about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown. When they are done, lay them on a cooling rack with some paper towel underneath so all the oil can be soaked off.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
