Crispy Breaded Zucchini Slices

Author: Flavelo
Recipes
A common mistake with fried zucchini is the breading peeling off or the vegetable remaining watery inside. The solution lies in salting: the zucchini's high water content must first be 'sweated out' so the breading can stay crispy and adhere to the surface.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut the zucchini into approx. 1/4 inch slices. Salt them on both sides and let stand for 10-15 minutes.

Tip: Salt draws water out of the vegetable cells. This 'sweating' concentrates flavors and prevents the breading from getting soggy during frying [osmosis].
2 ✓

Wipe the slices completely dry with paper towels. This is a critical step!

Tip: If the surface is wet, the flour turns to mush and slides off. On a dry surface, flour and egg form a stable 'glue'.
3 ✓

Bread: dredge in flour (shake off excess), dip in beaten peppered egg, and finally roll in breadcrumbs.

Tip: The order of breading creates a chemical bond: flour sticks to vegetable, egg to flour, crumb to egg.
4 ✓

Fry in ample hot oil (approx. 350°F / 175°C) until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side.

Tip: If the oil isn't hot enough, the crumbs absorb the fat before the crust forms.
5 ✓

Drain on a rack or paper towels.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the breading peel off?
