Fried Zucchini Rings with Cheese (Page 2 ) | May 30, 2025

Preparation Steps

Prepare the Batter:

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat lightly.

Add grated cheese and mix well.

Season with salt and pepper.

Gradually add flour while stirring constantly until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

If too thick, add a little water or milk to adjust consistency.

Prepare the Zucchini:

Wash and slice zucchinis about ¼ inch thick.

Pat slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture (helps keep them crispy).

Frying:

Pour enough oil into a pan to cover the bottom and heat over medium heat.

Dip each zucchini slice into the batter, coating both sides well.

Carefully add coated zucchini slices to the hot oil.

Fry 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Work in batches to avoid overcrowding, which cools the oil and causes sogginess.

Drain fried zucchini rings on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serving Suggestions

Best enjoyed warm.

Serve with ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or yogurt dip.

Great as an appetizer or side dish to grilled meats or salads.

Variations and Tips

Try different cheeses to explore flavors — mozzarella and Parmesan make a great salty and melty combo.

Add chopped herbs like basil or parsley to the batter for a fresh herby taste.
