Recipe View Season and Serve: Transfer the fried zucchini to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Season immediately with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For an even crispier coating, consider double-dredging: Dip the zucchini in egg, then crumbs, then egg again, and finally in the crumbs one last time.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Fry the zucchini in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even browning.
For added flavor, mix a pinch of garlic powder, parmesan cheese or dried herbs into the cracker crumbs.
Serve immediately for the best texture. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).
