For an even crispier coating, consider double-dredging: Dip the zucchini in egg, then crumbs, then egg again, and finally in the crumbs one last time. Don't overcrowd the pan: Fry the zucchini in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even browning. For added flavor, mix a pinch of garlic powder, parmesan cheese or dried herbs into the cracker crumbs. Serve immediately for the best texture. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).
