Fried Parmesan Zucchini

 Ingredients:

3 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions:

Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Dredge each zucchini slice in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini rounds in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
