Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini sliced to about 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 cups cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • vegetable oil for frying

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

  • Serve the crispy zucchini immediately while they’re hot and enjoy!
