Recipe View While the zucchini is still hot, sprinkle generously with seafood seasoning to taste. Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. (1 minute)

For extra crispy zucchini, consider double-dredging: Dip in the egg mixture, then flour, then egg again, and finally flour.
If you don't have a spiral slicer, you can cut the zucchini into thin matchsticks or chips.
Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, paprika, or a dash of cayenne pepper can add a unique flavor.
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying; otherwise, the zucchini may become soggy.
Don't overcrowd the fryer, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in less crispy zucchini.
