Ingredients
- 2 pounds zucchini medium sized, about 6-7

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions
- To a heavy bottomed, deep skillet or dutch oven, add oil to fill about ½ an inch and heat over medium-high heat.
- Trim the ends off the zucchini and slice into ½-inch thick slices.
- Whisk eggs with the water in a small dish with salt and pepper to taste. In another small dish add the flour. In a third dish mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Coat the zucchini in the flour, then egg (let excess drip off), then breadcrumbs. If you end up not having enough egg, just whisk another in.
