Ingredients
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions

Notes
For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
To make it gluten-free, substitute almond flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
