Fried zucchini with garlic (simple recipe)
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. There’s no need to talk about the benefits of zucchini. Countless dishes are made from this vegetable, and it was first brought to Europe as early as the 16th century. Although zucchini is considered native to the Americas, people prepare all kinds of dishes from it all over the world. I suggest the simplest option — fried zucchini with garlic (if you’re not fasting, you can add a mayonnaise-garlic sauce). The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Step 1
1. Fresh vegetable season is already here, and not frying zucchini would simply be a sin. So, wash the vegetable thoroughly, pat dry with a paper towel, and cut into rounds.

2. Determine the size of the rounds yourself. The thinner they are, the crispier and crunchier they will be.

3. Coat each ring in flour and place in a skillet with hot vegetable oil. Fry over medium heat on both sides.

4. If you prefer them browned, fry until a golden crust forms. Salt only when you flip them to the other side (this prevents the zucchini from burning and keeps the flour coating from coming off).

5. Transfer to a separate dish and top with chopped garlic. Since I was making a Lenten dish, I did not add mayonnaise, but zucchini is definitely tastier with sauce.

6. For extra piquancy, I also sprinkled them with green onion. You can add your favorite spices to taste as well.
