Fried Zucchini Onions Recipes

EASY PAN-FRIED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Slice the zucchini into ½ cm/ 0.2 inch thick slices. Place the flour on a plate. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Coat the zucchini slices lightly with flour and pat the pieces with your hands to remove the excess flour.
• Heat 2-3 tablespoons oil or lard in a non-stick or cast iron pan. The oil should be enough to cover the bottom of the pan in a thin layer.
• Drag each zucchini slice through the beaten eggs just before placing it in the pan.
• Fry on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and fry for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. If they turn too dark too soon, turn the heat even lower.
• Next batch: Remove from the pan and fry the next batch adding more fat if necessary. Place the fried zucchini slices on kitchen paper to help absorb the excess fat.
• Serve: Only salt the zucchini before serving. Serve warm with garlic sauce, tomatoes, feta cheese, and bread. Or cold in sandwiches.

FRIED ZUCCHINI & ONIONS

Steps:

• Mix the zucchini and onions together in a gallon-size ziplock bag.
• In a small bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Pour the dry mix into the bag, seal and shake well. Let it sit about 30-45 minutes, shaking periodically. A batter will form to coat the vegetables.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium to medium-high heat. When hot enough, add the vegetables and fry till evenly browned.

ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Remove the ends of the zucchini and, if they are large, cut in half lengthwise. Slice the zucchini diagonally in 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat, until they start to brown. Add half the zucchini, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove to a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the zucchini. Serve immediately.
• Note: If you cook too much zucchini in one pan, you end up steaming rather than sauteing it. I prefer to cook it in 2 batches.
