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!

Ingredients You’ll Need

(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)

  • Panko crumbs

Batter

  • Flour
  • Water
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cumin
  • Paprika
  • Chili powder
  • Sugar

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)

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Mee Goreng (stir fried noodles) @farahjeats Mee Mee Goreng (stir fried noodles) @farahjeats 
Mee (mie) goreng, a quick and easy stir fried noodles recipe that’s great for lunch or dinner. Popular in Malaysia and neighboring countries like Indonesia and Singapore— with each country having their own version of it. Chewy noodles infused with spicy, tangy and savory flavors, and ready within 30 minutes!
This is definitely not an authentic recipe but a simplified version that my mother-in-law makes often and now a recipe that I make quite a lot for a quick breakfast using ingredients easily accessible to us here. It definitely hits the spot! Feel free to add protein of your choice to this dish or just add a fried egg on top! 
I’ll work on an authentic Malaysian mee goreng recipe and share soon ☺️

Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
