These Cheesy Zucchini Rounds are crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, and bursting with savory goodness in every bite. A fun and tasty way to enjoy zucchini, they’re perfect as a snack, side dish, or party appetizer. Quick to assemble and pan-fried to golden perfection, these bite-sized veggie “sandwiches” hit the sweet spot between indulgence and wholesomeness.
The simplicity of this recipe makes it easy to throw together on a whim, especially when zucchini is in season. Thin slices are paired and filled with gooey cheese, lightly breaded in flour and egg, then fried until crispy. The result is a golden crust that gives way to warm, melted cheese, all wrapped in tender zucchini.
What makes these rounds especially appealing is their versatility. You can use mozzarella, cheddar, provolone, or any good melting cheese. Flavor can be kicked up with garlic powder, chili flakes, or Italian seasoning, and they pair beautifully with dips like marinara, ranch, or sour cream.
