Fried Zucchini
NeedTaste |We could eat plates of these simple fried zucchini chips. The batter is light but crunchy at the same time. Panko gives an extra crunch to the zucchini, too. Pan-frying in just a bit of oil makes the coating super crunchy. Yum . My Grammie (Roberta Campbell) used to make this all the time. We always had zucchini growing in the garden. 2 things you could plan on eating was fried zucchini and zucchini bread. When making this recipe it always reminds me of my Gram and how she was always in the kitchen cooking something good. She did not use Panko bread crumbs but her own. I have changed my Grammie's recipe by using the Panko crumbs and adding Parmesan and parsley.
