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

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

Dip each zucchini slice first in flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded zucchini slices in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

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