Ingredients

  • Zucchini (thinly sliced into circles)
  • Grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • Garlic salt (to taste)
  • Garlic powder (to taste)
  • Cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • Dried parsley (to taste)
  • Bisquick mix
  • All-purpose flour
  • Canola oil (for frying)
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions

1

Prepare the Zucchini

Wash the zucchini and slice it very thin into uniform circles. Set aside.

2

Make the Dry Mixture

In a large dish, combine Bisquick and all-purpose flour in a 50/50 ratio. Season with salt, garlic powder, garlic salt, and cracked black pepper. Mix well.

3

Make the Wet Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, grated Pecorino Romano, and dried parsley. Season again with garlic powder, garlic salt, and cracked black pepper.

4

Coat the Zucchini

Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture, then coat it evenly in the flour mixture. Lay the coated slices on foil and let them rest for about 10 minutes before frying.

5

Fry Until Golden

Heat canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly pan fry the zucchini slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat until all slices are fried.

6

Serve and Enjoy

Enjoy warm or cold — Alexia loves them best chilled! Perfect on their own or layered into other dishes like zucchini Parmesan or caprese stacks.
