Crispy Cracker-Crusted Fried Zucchini
  1. 1

    Slice the zucchini crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds.

  2. 2

    Dip each zucchini slice in the beaten egg, then press it into the cracker crumbs to coat both sides. Shake off any excess and arrange in a single layer on a plate; do not stack.

  3. 3

    Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the zucchini in the hot oil until the crust is browned and the zucchini is tender, about 3 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Season with salt and pepper.
