Fried zucchini slices are a crispy, flavorful appetizer or side dish popular in American and Mediterranean cuisine. This dish features zucchini rounds coated in a seasoned breadcrumb batter, often enriched with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and herbs, then shallow-fried or deep-fried to a golden perfection. Zucchini itself is a nutrient-rich vegetable, packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, offering heart and digestive health benefits. However, frying adds extra calories and fats, which can reduce its overall nutritional profile. To balance indulgence with health, these slices can be prepared using less oil, baked, or air-fried. Whether served with tangy marinara, creamy ranch, or other dipping sauces, fried zucchini is a tasty way to enjoy seasonal produce with a satisfying crunch.
