Equipment
- Deep Frying Pan

Ingredients
For the Zucchini Rings
- 2 medium zucchinis sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
- 1 cup all-purpose flour for coating
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs for coating
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder for flavor
- 1 teaspoon onion powder for flavor
- 1 teaspoon paprika for color and flavor
- to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

For the Creamy Zucchini Dip
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup grated zucchini squeezed dry
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- to taste salt and pepper for seasoning
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Slice the zucchinis into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip each zucchini slice first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Once the oil is hot, fry the zucchini rings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated zucchini, lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Step 3: Serve the crispy zucchini rings warm alongside the creamy zucchini dip. Enjoy every delicious bite!
Notes
If you're feeling creative, try adding grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture for an extra cheesy flavor. For a gluten-free option, swap the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs for gluten-free alternatives.
