Fried zucchini with Parmesan is a rich and flavorful side dish thanks to the use of grated Parmesan cheese and almond flour. The peculiarity of these zucchinis is that they are sliced with a spiralizer (cut like fettuccine), making them very original and fun to bring to the table. The coating with Parmesan and almond flour makes them even more special.
