Maggiano’s Zucchini Fritte ### Ingredients:

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian style)
2 large eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Oil, for frying (vegetable or olive oil works well)
Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)
Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions:

Begin by prepping your zucchinis. Slice them into thin rounds, around ¼ inch thick. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In another bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
Coat each zucchini slice first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated, and finally press it into the breadcrumbs to create a crispy outer layer.
Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the zucchini slices—this is key for a golden crust.
Fry the coated zucchini in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Once all the zucchini is cooked, feel free to sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top for extra flavor.
Serve your Zucchini Fritte warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful creation!
