Fried Zucchini
Zucchini (courgettes) is another favored vegetable at our house. One of the few that I can get my girls to eat in whatever shape or form from fried to stewed to cakes. One of their favorites though is fried. They would even take these as an after school snack.
Zucchini, sliced into circles or sticks
1 egg, beaten
Bread Crumbs (in this case we used store bought crumbs but it’s just as easy to make your own from old bread too.)
Oil for frying
Dip the zucchini slices into the egg, shake off the excess then dredge it in the bread crumbs mixture. Fry in hot oil until browned and serve with ranch dressing. Presto!

I am a terrible housekeeper but I do love to cook so it all evens out in the end. I like to try new recipes that I think my family will like. However, I am not one to follow all recipes to the letter. I tend to tweak and change the recipes based on what I have on hand and how I am feeling at the time. Feel free to share your versions, I just might try it out next time I make the dish again.

I am looking at yours and wonder why your zucchini look so much crispier and less greasy than mine.. ? I made some the other day and if I don’t use enough oil, they seem to burn. Trying to find the balance between too much/too little and just right.

Hi Tin and cheh! zucchini anytime of the year is good
Tin you can also try to dip in marinara sauce, masarap din.
Sha! Hello! We like cutting it lengthwise too, like pasta, the kids say. I’ll have to try it steamed. Usually we just saute’ it in garlic and olive oil. Uy, buti ka pa nakatikim ng PATUPAT sa Greece. My grandparents used to make their own during sugar cane harvest. They cook the packages in the vat where the juuice from the sugar cane is cooking, hence getting the caramelization all over. Oh yumm! I haven’t had any in years, and have never even seen it here in the US even in Ca.
Hi Ting! Frying time is right. Seems like I’ve been doing a lot of frying lately. I’ll have to slow that down some. My winter weight gain is getting out of control again
Hi ces! My kids are crazy about this any any veggie cooked tempura style and dipped in ranch dressing. You’d think they’re eating french fries, lol! I hope your kids like it.
