• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F, using a candy thermometer to ensure accuracy.

4. Dredge each zucchini spiral first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat evenly with the panko mixture.

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into 1/4-inch thick strands

• Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, soak the spiralized zucchini in buttermilk for 15 minutes to tenderize.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 375°F, using a thermometer to ensure accuracy.

5. Fry the coated zucchini spirals in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, avoiding overcrowding the fryer.
