Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 zucchini
ΒΌ cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim off ends, then slice zucchini into 1/8 inch thick rounds. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl, and toss in zucchini slices, mixing thoroughly to coat.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place all of the zucchini pieces into the hot oil and fry over medium heat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Watch zucchini closely, adding more oil if it begins to brown too quickly. When it is golden brown on one side, flip it over to brown on other side. It will clump together as it cooks, that is what you want.
  • When zucchini is evenly browned, turn heat down to low and cover pan with a lid. Allow it to steam until zucchini is slightly tender. Turn zucchini, replace lid, and steam until soft. Remove lid and turn heat back up to medium-high. Fry on both sides until crisp. Serve hot.

I love how easy this recipe is to make. I always have zucchini in my fridge and now I have a quick and delicious way to use it up. I like to add a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the zucchini before frying for an extra cheesy flavor.

This pan-fried zucchini recipe is a winner! The zucchini is cooked perfectly, with a tender-crisp texture and a slightly caramelized exterior. The simple seasoning of garlic, salt, and pepper allows the natural flavor of the zucchini to shine through
