Preparation

Step 1

Cut each zucchini in half crosswise then cut each half lengthwise into french fry-like strips.

Place zucchini in a medium bowl and sprinkle with salt; toss to evenly coat. Place flour and bread crumbs each in a separate shallow dish. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. Coat each zucchini strip in flour then dip in egg mixture and coat completely with bread crumbs; set aside on a platter.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Fry zucchini strips a few at a time for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden on all sides, turning frequently. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

Note:
If you cook your zucchini strips in a tabletop deep fryer, they come out really crisp and golden.
