Instructions

In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed. Prepare a separate small bowl with the beaten eggs.
Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press the zucchini into the bread crumb mixture, making sure to coat it evenly on all sides. Shake off any excess bread crumbs. Place the breaded zucchini slices on a plate in a single layer.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Carefully place the breaded zucchini slices into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for approximately 3 minutes, or until the zucchini turns golden brown and crispy. Transfer the fried zucchini to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
To serve, sprinkle the fried zucchini with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt. Enjoy immediately!
