Experience the simple elegance of summer with these golden-brown zucchini rounds. Lightly dusted in seasoned flour and kissed by rich butter, this dish offers a delightful balance of crispy textures and savory flavors – a perfect side or snack that's ready in minutes!
Prepare the Coating Station: In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. On a separate plate or shallow dish, spread the flour. (2 minutes)
Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the egg-coated slice in the flour, pressing lightly to ensure the flour adheres evenly. Shake off any excess flour. (5 minutes)
Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to get hot and shimmer before adding the zucchini. (3 minutes)
Fry the Zucchini: Carefully place the coated zucchini slices in the hot butter, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and tender. (8-10 minutes)
Season and Serve: Remove the fried zucchini from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. Season immediately with salt, pepper, and optional garlic and chili powder to taste. Serve hot and enjoy! (2 minutes)
