Fried zucchini is always very budget-friendly and tasty. You can combine it with garlic sauce, herbs and tomatoes, and put it on bread. But, first of all, the vegetable must be properly cooked.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you what mistakes can ruin fried zucchini. These recommendations will help you get a delicious dish.

Too high of a temperature

The cooking temperature has a big impact on the appearance and flavor of the zucchini. If you turn up the heat too high, the top batter will burn and the inside will be soggy.

Not enough oil

Oil is a heat conductor. Therefore, if there is not enough of it, the vegetables will simply not fry. In addition, they will have an unpleasant gray color. So don't be afraid to add oil when frying zucchini.

Do not use old zucchini for frying

Old zucchini are usually quite dense and contain a lot of water. Thy are not suitable for frying at all. The pieces will not fry but will simply turn into mush. Even if the zucchini is young, it must first be salted to remove excess moisture, and only then fried.

Cut correctly

The pieces you fry in the pan should be the same size. Otherwise, the coarser rings will be raw, and the thinner ones will simply burn.
