Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tablespoon milk

• 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Pour about ½ inch of vegetable oil into a skillet. Heat over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F .
