by

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 medium zucchini or yellow squash
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered Parmesan cheese
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • ranch dressing, for serving

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Heat a 1/4 inch of oil in the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Wash and slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
  3. Beat together the egg and water in a shallow bowl.
  4. Stir together the coconut flour and Parmesan in a second shallow bowl.
  5. Coat the zucchini in the egg and then dredge in the coconut mixture to coat.
  6. Add a single layer of zucchini to the hot oil, being careful not to crowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining zucchini.
  7. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.
