Notes
If you like zucchini a bit softer, slice zucchini a bit thinner. Cook for the same amount of time.
You don't need a lot of oil. Use ¼ - ⅓ cup. You just want a thin layer of oil on your pan.
Heat oil over medium high heat. To test if oil is hot enough, drop a few pieces of panko into pan. If the oil sizzles, your pan is ready.
Do not overcrowd pan. Cook zucchini in batches if needed
Serve zucchini while still warm or hot!
