Steps:
- Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
- Stir 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the panko, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk the eggs in another medium bowl to blend. Working in batches, dip the zucchini in the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Coat the zucchini in the panko mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Place the zucchini strips on a baking sheet.
- When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the zucchini sticks until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to paper towels and drain.
- Arrange the fried zucchini on a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, saute the zucchini, garlic and Italian seasoning in oil and butter, until zucchini is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large, as they tend to be more watery and less flavorful.
- Slice the zucchini evenly. This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be careful to use the guard to protect your fingers.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the zucchini will not cook evenly and will become soggy. Cook the zucchini in batches if necessary.
- Cook the zucchini until it is tender. The zucchini should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked zucchini will be mushy.
- Make the garlic yogurt sauce while the zucchini is cooking. This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Serve the zucchini hot or cold. Fried zucchini is delicious served hot or cold. If you are serving it cold, be sure to let it cool completely before refrigerating.
Conclusion:
Fried zucchini with garlic yogurt sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or appetizer. The zucchini is crispy and tender, and the garlic yogurt sauce is tangy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
