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
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).
