    Fried Zucchini is Yummy!

    I'm in my first week of OWL and today was one of the days I'm adding 5 carbs of veggies. I just had fried zucchini (a whole zucchini sliced, dipped in egg and then parmesan cheese and fried) at lunchtime. I'd never had fried zucchini before (even the high carb version), but read a recipe on the forum and thought I'd try it. It was delicious!!! 8 net carbs and well worth every one.

        I'm bone lazy, so I don't mess with breading....Just slice the zucchini into 1/4 inch rounds. Fry them in a single layer in some olive oil. Fry them until they are a deep golden brown on one side. Flip over and fry until golden brown on the other. Drain on paper towels. They won't be crunchy, but they will be very sweet and yummy. It's a great side dish!

            I saute them in a little olive oil on both sides and then I sprinkle parmesan cheese on them. They are so good.

              I did that to catfish fillets one time - I coated them in half and half (to make them sticky), then rolled them in parm cheese and spices then fried them in olive oil. Even my husband ate them!

                Kat that is a great idea. I never thought about the cream and cheese combo. I will have to try that on my fish tonight. Cant wait.

                  Crushed pork rinds and parmesan makes an awesome coating for anything fried. I love chicken tenders, fish and many other dishes coated this way. So crispy and delicious!
