I found myself with some zucchinis on hand while trying to clean out the fridge over the weekend, and thought it was the perfect time to make these fried zucchini bites! They’re so easy and effortless to make, with a rich and flavorful batter that’s absolutely delectable.

This batter recipe is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to prepare crispy snack bites. Just like how I used it for this Fried King Oyster Mushroom Bites that so many of you love!

Crispy Zucchini Bites

The steps to making these crispy morsels are pretty simple: cut a zucchini into slices of equal thickness, dredge them in the seasoned batter, coat them in some panko, then fry until it turns golden brown.

And voila! You’ve got yourself a delicious snack plate that’s also great as an appetizer. It’s also vegan-friendly! The only thing that needs to be substituted is in the sauce. Just swap the mayonnaise with some vegan mayonnaise, and you’re good!

  • Flour
  • Water
  • Salt

  • Cumin

Instructions

Notes for Eggless Crispy Fried Zucchini (Vegan)

  • Batter consistency – The consistency of the batter should be in between a pasty and watery consistency. Adjust with more flour or more water to reach that consistency, 1/2 tbsp at a time.
  • Deep fry or Air fry options – You can deep fry, or for a healthier version, air fry at 350°F for 10-15 minutes and flipping it halfway.
  • Vegan friendly – This recipe is vegan friendly. Just swap the mayonnaise for the sauce with vegan mayonnaise or serve with your sauce of choice.
  • Sauce – The sauce is the same as the special sauce used in my In-N-Out Animal Fries Copycat recipe.

Here are some other vegan friendly recipes:

  • Spicy Crispy Mushroom Burger (Vegan-friendly)
  • Savory Ramen Pancake (Eggless & Vegan-Friendly)
  • 20-Minutes Spicy Creamy Miso Ramen (Vegan)
  • Creamy Tom Yum Noodle Soup

Perfect for sharing but I honestly can finish this all on my own! I’m keeping it simple for this one but sometimes I like to add tomatoes, avocado and sour cream.

Soy sauce eggs @farahjeats This Malaysian style Soy sauce eggs @farahjeats 
This Malaysian style soy sauce eggs is one of my favorite easy meals and it’s also a comfort food not just for me but for many Malaysians. I ate this a lot growing up and during my student days. Probably one of the first recipes I learned how to cook!
The sauce is just sweet soy sauce (kicap/kecap manis), light soy sauce and water!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
