Ingredients

- 2 cups cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs beaten

Instructions
Step 1: Salt the zucchini
- Start by placing the zucchini rounds on a wooden cutting board or any flat surface. Sprinkle salt evenly on both sides of the zucchini slices.
Step 2: Dredge the zucchini
- Take each zucchini round and dip it first in the beaten eggs, then coat it with flour, followed by a layer of cornstarch. Make sure the coating sticks well to each slice.
Step 3: Heat the oil
- Place a frying pan on the stove and heat it up. Once hot, add a light layer of oil to the pan.
Step 4: Fry the zucchini
- Carefully place the coated zucchini rounds into the hot oil. Fry them on both sides until they develop a golden, crispy crust.
Step 5: Drain excess oil
- Once fried, transfer the zucchini to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Ready to Serve
