These fried Zucchini Chips are commonly served as an appetizer in Greek taverns across the globe. Follow my easy recipe to make these crunchy chips at home.
Printable Recipe: www.dimitrasdishes.com/greek-...
Ingredients
3 zucchinis
1 cup (150 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (150 g) finely ground semolina flour
Salt to taste
Dried oregano to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Bowl with cold water
Optional seasonings: sumac, granulated garlic, herbs
Serving Sauces:
• Tzatziki
• Shawarma Sauce
• Marinara Sauce
Instructions
Slice the zucchini into 3mm slices or into sticks.
Sprinkle some salt on top. The same amount that you would sprinkle on fried eggs. Set aside while you make the flour coating. Also, pour the oil into a deep frying pan and heat to 375 °F.
In a shallow baking pan combine the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and a teaspoon of salt. Mix together to combine.
The zucchini will have released some moisture, and this will help the flour mixture stick to them so, do not pat them dry.
Toss the zucchini in the flour mixture.
Quickly dip each zucchini slice/stick into the water and shake off the excess then, carefully drop into the oil. Do not crowd the pan or the oil’s temperature will drop and the chips will become soggy.
Fry until golden all around.
Using a slotted spoon or a frying spider, lift the zucchini out and allow the excess oil to drain back into the pan.
Place the chips onto a tray that has been lined with paper towels and season with salt, oregano, and sumac or your choice of seasonings.
Serve immediately with your favorite sauces/dips. Enjoy

Hey Dimitra, I love your videos! I'm a retired chef, and I've actually learned a few new things, which is always very exciting for me. I've tried a few of your recipes, notably the spanakopita, and I was so impressed. I love the way you demonstrate the steps so simply. When I saw you post this recipe for fried zucchini, I knew I had to try it. The combination of semolina flour and all-purpose flour is something I would not thought of, but I'd be willing to bet it makes a huge difference in terms of crunchiness. Dipping the zucchini in water briefly immediately before frying is a technique I've never heard of. I can't wait to try it! I've made fried zucchini in the past, but there has always been a missing element, I thought. This could be it. I'll let you know for sure! Thanks, as always.

another safer way to cut the zucchini and other veggies is to use a food processor. most have an attachement that you can add to the top and then you push your veggies through the blade. i tried this method to slice plantains to make plantain chips and it works wonderfully and no fear of cutting your finger!

Thanks so much. Greek chefs in greek speaking channels claim to use semolina fine grade (simigdali psilo) I tested and it doesnt work. I have just tested semolina flour as you suggest and got finally taverna like zuchinnis. Semolina flour is much more hydroscopic and this make a difference. Regards from Athens 😊
