Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and cut them into 1/4 inch thick slices.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with 2 tablespoons of water until well combined.

Step 4

In a third bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Dip each zucchini slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 6

Next, dip the floured zucchini slice into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off.

Step 7

Finally, coat the slice in the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture, pressing down slightly to adhere the crumbs well.

Step 8

Place the coated slices on a tray and repeat with the remaining zucchini.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the slices by about half.

Step 10

Once the oil is hot, carefully add a batch of zucchini slices to the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the fried zucchini slices with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Repeat the frying process with the remaining zucchini slices.

Step 13

Serve the gluten-free crispy fried zucchini slices immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
