About Fried zucchini
Fried zucchini is a crispy and flavorful dish often associated with Italian-American cuisine, though its roots trace back to traditional Mediterranean cooking. This dish typically features fresh zucchini slices coated in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture, sometimes including Parmesan cheese, flour, and eggs for binding, then deep-fried until golden brown. Fried zucchini offers a way to enjoy the mild, slightly sweet flavor of zucchini, a vegetable rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber. However, due to the frying process, it tends to be higher in calories and fat compared to steamed or baked zucchini. For a lighter alternative, some recipes opt for oven-baking or air-frying instead of deep frying. Fried zucchini is often served as an appetizer or side dish, accompanied by marinara sauce or a tangy dipping sauce for added flavor.
