Ingredients

• 12 Small zucchinis
• 1.5 Cups (cups) all-purpose flour
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) garlic powder
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 1 Cup (cup) milk
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 16 Ounces (oz) sour cream
• 3 Cups (cups) sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.33 Cup (cup) vegetable oil

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the zucchinis, then drain and let them cool.
3. In a shallow bowl, mix together 1.5 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cut the ends off the zucchinis and then cut them into thirds. Roll each zucchini piece in the flour mixture, then dip in the milk, and roll again in the flour to cover completely. Set aside on parchment paper until all pieces are covered.
5. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the oil, and brown the zucchini on all sides. Remove and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
6. Spread sour cream over the zucchini and top with shredded cheese.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cheese begins to brown. Remove from the oven, let sit for 10 minutes, and serve.
