The key to great crispy zucchini is to slice thinly and fry at high heat so the zucchini has time to cook but not absorb a lot of oil. Use a cheese slicer, mandoline, or long-bladed knife to get uniformly thin slices.
---------------------
Scrape the skin of the zucchini (no need to peel, just want to make the skin thinner). Cut the top and bottom off each zucchini. Cut the zucchini lengthwise in to quarters. You will have 16 slices. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the slices.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Dip the zucchini in the flour and shallow fry the slices turning once as they turn gold.
Serve the zucchini hot with the Tzatziki as a dipping sauce. |
