Crispy Slices of Summer Zucchini
Thin rounds of zucchini, lightly salted, then fried in olive oil until golden and jangly-crisp outside yet tender inside — a simple dish that captures the sunny flavours of late summer.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg zucchini
- Salt
- Olive oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini:
Wash the zucchini thoroughly. Trim off a small portion from one end and the stem from the other. Slice the zucchini into rounds and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 5 minutes. - Heat the Oil:
Heat olive oil in a frying pan until it’s hot. - Fry the Zucchini:
Place the zucchini slices in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry them on both sides until golden brown. - Drain the Oil:
Remove the fried zucchini from the pan and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Texture Contrast That Delights
Salt draws moisture out so the slices fry up crisp, while olive oil adds richness without overpowering the zucchini’s mild sweetness.
