Commonly Asked Questions

How do I avoid soggy zucchini slices?

Firstly, when you cook these zucchini slice it’s important not to crown the frying pan. Give your zucchini slices room to breath and cook. This does mean you have to cook in smaller batches depending on the size of your frying pan.

If you plan on eating them the next day, wrap the zucchini slices in foil and place it in the oven to reheat for around 10 minutes. If you add them to the microwave, they’ll be hot but soggy and floppy without any crunch.

Should you salt Zucchini before frying it?

Salting Zucchini slices will cause the Zucchini to expel all the water it holds, which is a good thing, as that will help with not creating soggy Zucchini slices. In my recipe, you’re adding salt to the batter before you fry it. I have found this method to be the most successful when making crispy and crunchy Zucchini slices.
