Maggiano’s Zucchini Fritte

This zucchini fritters recipe is simple yet incredibly satisfying. It features tender slices of zucchini coated in a light batter, fried to perfection, and served warm. It’s great as a snack, a side dish, or even an appetizer for gatherings.

Maggiano’s Zucchini Fritte ### Ingredients

2 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying (such as vegetable or olive oil)
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Start by preparing the zucchini. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Make sure they are evenly sliced for uniform cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and set them aside.
Next, dip each zucchini round first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it with the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat. Repeat this for all zucchini rounds.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. You’ll know it’s ready when you drop a small piece of batter into the oil and it sizzles.
Carefully place the coated zucchini rounds into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until they’re golden brown and crispy—about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once cooked, remove the zucchini from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm, garnished with freshly squeezed lemon juice if desired. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

These Zucchini Fritters are not just a treat for the taste buds; they’re also an easy way to sneak in some vegetables. Perfect for entertaining or enjoying as a snack while watching a movie, you’ll find yourself making these on repeat. Happy cooking!
