Zucchini Recipes: Fried Zucchini with Basil Garlic Aioli

Since we started getting fresh zucchini out of our own garden last week, I’ve decided to do a 30 day challenge of eating 1 zucchini dish a day and posting all of my zucchini recipes for you to enjoy. This is also to help prevent me from getting overwhelmed by a mass influx of zucchini on my counter and not being able to keep up doing something with it. Once the 30 days is over, I’ll probably starting canning the rest, with the occasional dish thrown in.

I love zucchini for how versatile it can be, but definitely prefer sticking to the small/medium sized zucchini. Any larger than that and they are too thick or hard to mess with.

This recipe is loosely based on the Oven Fried Zucchini with Garlic Aioli recipe posted by the ever awesome Elliott Homestead.

I had to modify it slightly to support the Keto lifestyle my husband and I are doing (which I have subsequently lost almost 30lb on in 2 months. I also originally tried to dip the zucchini into coconut flour and then egg and then the crust bits, but that was ultimately a failure.

Instead, this one will be based off my paleo chicken nugget recipe, which I will feature later as I get a lot of requests for that one!
