Making the fried Roman fried zucchini is very simple and fast but the result will certainly give you satisfaction. You can eat them as an appetiser or as a side course for meat or fish. So let’s see how to prepare fried Roman-style fried zucchini!
To start preparing the Roman-style fried zucchini you have to start to clean zucchini, remove the ends and then cut them into small, fairly thin sticks, about 4 mm.
Put the zucchini sticks all in a bowl and sprinkle them with salt. Leave them to rest for about half an hour so that they lose the vegetation water.
Remove the water released from the zucchini, dry the sticks with a sheet of absorbent paper and pass them in a mixture of flour and grated pecorino.
Remove the excess flour and fry in a pan where you have already brought the oil to temperature.
Remove them when they are of a pale gold color, and arrange them on absorbent kitchen paper. Add salt only if necessary and transfer them gently to a serving dish. Then serve hot Roman-style fried zucchini.

If you wish to have a thicker batter on Roman fried zucchini, you can add an egg and a dash of milk to the flour.
