Crispy Greek Fried Zucchini: The Secret to a Perfect Golden Crust Every Time

Forget limp, soggy zucchini. Authentic Greek-style fried zucchini is all about precision-dry coating, piping-hot oil, and quick cooking. Remove excess moisture and seal each slice in intense heat, and you'll be rewarded with a crisp, golden crust surrounding a tender, juicy center.
