01 Step
Recipe View
In a shallow bowl, thoroughly combine the seasoned bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic salt. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. (1 minute)
03 Step
Recipe View
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Carefully place the breaded zucchini slices in a single layer in the hot skillet. Fry for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and tender.
06 Step
Recipe View
Once golden brown, flip the zucchini slices and continue to fry until the second side is also golden brown. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the fried zucchini slices. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 1 to 2 minutes more. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Spoon the heated spaghetti sauce onto individual plates. Arrange the fried zucchini slices atop the sauce and serve immediately. (2 minutes)
For extra crispy zucchini, consider double-dredging. Dip the zucchini in egg, then breadcrumbs, then egg again, and finally back into the breadcrumbs before frying.
To prevent soggy zucchini, avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving adds a bright, zesty flavor.
