Crispy Zucchini Rounds with Corn Flour – Easy 2-Ingredient Snack
Quick and delicious zucchini rounds with a light corn flour coating — golden, crunchy, and perfect as a side or snack. No egg, no breadcrumbs needed!
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 tsp salt for sweating the zucchini
- 5 –6 tbsp corn flour or a mix of corn flour and regular flour
- Neutral oil for frying
- Optional dip: plain yogurt garlic, lemon juice
Instructions
- Prep the zucchini:Slice zucchini into 5 mm (¼ inch) thick rounds. Place in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Make the coating:In a separate bowl, mix corn flour with a pinch of salt or your favorite seasonings.
- Coat the zucchini:Drain the zucchini if needed. One by one, coat each slice in the flour mixture, pressing lightly so it sticks.
- Pan-fry until golden:Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry zucchini rounds in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve:Serve warm with a simple yogurt-based dip or enjoy on their own.
Notes
You can add garlic powder, paprika, or black pepper to the flour mix for extra flavor.
For a lighter version, these can be air-fried or oven-baked at 200°C (400°F) until crisp.
Goes well with any dipping sauce — try it with a garlicky yogurt or sour cream with herbs.
