Wash and slice the zucchini into 1/4 inch rounds.

In one bowl, place flour mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

Dip each zucchini slice first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded zucchini slices in batches, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the fried zucchini from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
