Unfortunately my favorite way to enjoy zucchini is breaded and fried. I used to slice it, then roll it in flour and breadcrumbs and fry it in oil. I like doing the same with eggplant.
So I revised my 'fried' zucchini a little bit. Instead of whole egg I use egg substitute. Instead of both flour AND bread crumbs, I use just the bread crumbs and forget the flour. And instead of frying it in oil, I coat my nonstick pan pretty good with nonfat cooking spray. Then once I dip the zucchini slices into the egg beaters, then into the bread crumbs and then put them in the pan, I'll spray the 'up' side of the slices with more cooking spray so I don't end up with
dried bread on my slices once it browns. Sometimes, to add some crunch, I'll dump some dehydrated minced onion into the bread crumbs.
I love doing patty pan squash this way as well.
