Description

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—these fried zucchini rounds are a crunchy, buttery snack or side that’s as easy as it is satisfying. Perfect for dipping or munching straight off the pan.

 


Ingredients

Scale

2 medium zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch rounds

2 large eggs, beaten

1 sleeve buttery round crackers (like Ritz®), crushed

2 tbsp olive oil (or more as needed for frying)

Salt & black pepper, to taste


Instructions

 

Prep coating: Place crushed crackers in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in another bowl.

 

Dip & coat: Dip each zucchini slice in the egg, then press into crushed crackers to coat both sides.

 

Fry: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry zucchini in batches, about 2–3 mins per side, until golden brown and crisp.

 

Drain & season: Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt and pepper while hot.

 

Serve warm with your favorite dip (ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli).
