Recipe Introduction


These crisp morsels make a lovely vegetarian party snack.





List of Ingredients



• 3 large zucchini
  
• 1 3/4 cups fresh bread crumbs
  
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  
• 3 T finely chopped parsley
  
• grated zest of 1/2 lemon
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
• vegetable oil, for deep frying
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 200F. Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut them into sticks about 3 x 1/2-inch.
   
2. Mix the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, and lemon zest well in a shallow bowl. Beat the edges in a second bowl. Spread the flour in a third bowl and season.
   
3. In batches, coat the zucchini in the flour, then the egg, and then the bread crumbs. Transfer to a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
   
4. Half-fill a deep frying pan with oil and heat over high heat to 350F in batches, add the zucchini and cook about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while frying the remaining zucchini. Serve hot.
