Recipe Ingredients

Zucchini is rich in valuable antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamin C, folic acid and calcium. Zucchini is a good source of fiber. One cup of zucchini has nearly as much potassium as a banana. Plus it contains phosphorus.

1 zucchini, freshly ground
1 egg
Grated Parmesan cheese
Oil to fry

Recipe Directions

Zucchini

Heat oil in small skillet. Stir egg briskly with fork in a small bowl.

Pour grated parmesan cheese onto small plate.

Slice zuchinni and dip slices into egg, covering both sides.

Lay zuchinni slices in parmesan cheese and cover both sides. Fry zuchinni slices in oil until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towel to drain oil.

Optional:  Dip in cheese fondue or ranch dressing.

NOTE:  Count for parmesan cheese not included so you'll need to adjust accordingly.
