Ingredients

1 zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs, or more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed

Instructions

Rub zucchini slices with fresh garlic for enhanced flavor; set aside to marinate.
Prepare three shallow bowls: one with beaten egg, one with all-purpose flour, and one with seasoned bread crumbs.
Dredge each zucchini slice in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the beaten egg, then press firmly into the bread crumbs to ensure a thorough coating.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the breaded zucchini in batches until golden brown and crispy on both sides, approximately 5 minutes per batch.
