How to Make Fried Zucchini With Cucumber Dip

  1. Wash and slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Dip each zucchini slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Carefully place the zucchini slices in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
  6. Fry the zucchini for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the zucchini from the skillet and place it on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  8. While the zucchini is frying, prepare the cucumber dip: Combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  9. Mix well and adjust seasonings to taste.
  10. Serve the crispy fried zucchini immediately with the cool and creamy cucumber dip. Enjoy!
  11. Optional: Garnish with fresh dill or parsley before serving.
