Ingredients

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt divided
1 teaspoon pepper divided
1 teaspoon granulated garlic garlic powder works too!, divided
2 zucchini sliced
1 cup canola oil for frying

Instructions

In a small bowl combine the flour, salt and pepper and 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk.
In a third bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, salt and pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic.
Dredge the zucchini in the flour, be sure to shake any excess off. Next dip it in the egg/milk wash and then the panko bread crumbs.
Heat 1 inch of oil in a large heavy duty pan (I like to use my cast iron) Once the oil reaches 350 degrees, add the zucchini and fry until golden brown. About 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove from the oil and lightly salt. Transfer to a wire rack on top of a baking sheet while you fry the rest of the zucchini.
Serve hot with ranch dip.
