Greek-style crispy fried zucchini is made by coating slices of zucchini, often lightly in flour or batter, then frying them until golden. Known in Greece as a taverna-style appetiser, it has a crisp outside and a tender, mild centre; thin slices help them cook quickly and evenly.
In Greece, it is commonly served as a meze, often with lemon or a cool yogurt-based dip such as tzatziki. It also works as a side dish or a shared snack beyond Greece. Although zucchini is the main ingredient, frying and coating make this more substantial than a plain vegetable side, with much of its energy coming from fat and carbohydrates. Pair it with a fresh salad, or bake the slices for a lighter take.
