Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- coarse salt
- Vegetable oil, avocado oil or grapeseed oil, for frying
- About ½ cup all-purpose flour, as needed
- 1 large egg, whisked
- About 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Additional salt and pepper, to taste
- Additional seasonings or herbs, like Italian seasoning, garlic powder, etc. (optional)
- Ranch dressing or aioli, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with paper towels and place zucchini rounds on top in a single layer. Sprinkle with coarse salt and cover with more paper towels. Place something heavy on top like another sheet pan or cutting board. Let sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- In a wide skillet, pour enough oil to be about ¼-inch deep. Set over medium high heat.
- Set up an assembly line with the zucchini rounds and separate shallow bowls for flour, whisked egg, and breadcrumbs. Add salt and pepper to the flour along with any additional seasonings.
- Dip each zucchini round into the flour, followed by the whisked egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Add the breaded zucchini to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the zucchini to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with more coarse salt. Serve immediately with ranch dressing or aioli.
Notes
Adjust the seasoning based on your preference; adding spices can enhance flavor.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
You can use any type of dipping sauce you enjoy alongside the chips.
