Fried Zucchini Chips are crispy, golden bites of thinly sliced zucchini coated in a seasoned crust and fried to perfection. They make a delicious snack, appetizer, or side dish with a tender interior and crunchy exterior.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs or 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons grated parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Slice zucchini into thin rounds and pat dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk eggs or plant milk. In another bowl, combine flour or breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
  3. Dip each zucchini slice in egg (or milk), then dredge in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry zucchini slices in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Sprinkle with salt while hot.
  7. Serve immediately with dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Use panko for a crunchier coating.
  • Add parmesan or Italian herbs for extra flavor.
  • Sub rice flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
  • Dip options: ranch, marinara, garlic aioli.
  • Bake at 425°F (220°C) or air fry at 375°F (190°C) as an alternative to frying.
