Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and thinly slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well mixed.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Dredge each zucchini slice in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured zucchini slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 7

Finally, coat the zucchini slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with all slices and set them aside on a plate.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Step 9

Fry the zucchini slices in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.

Step 10

Remove the fried zucchini from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 11

In a small bowl, prepare the creamy garlic dip by combining the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 12

Serve the deep-fried zucchini warm with the creamy garlic dip on the side.
