Ingredients
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (dry)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (rubbed between fingers to release the flavors)
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (can use more)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- 14 ounces zucchini (2 medium, unpeeled, sliced into 1/2 to 3/4-inch rounds)
- 2 large eggs (beaten, might need another egg)
- 1 tablespoon water
- Olive oil for frying (use as much as needed)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Have all the zucchini rounds breaded and on a plate before ready to fry.

Step 2: In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs with water.
-
Step 3: In another shallow dish combine bread crumbs with flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
-
Step 4: Coat the zucchini sticks in egg/water mixture (allowing any excess to drip off) then coat into the breadcrumb mixture pressing down firmly with hands to adhere the breadcrumb mixture to the rounds.
