Zucchini can be prepared in many different ways - for example frying. There are a few things to take to heart so that it retains its taste.
Zucchini is now an integral part of many gardens and kitchens. It is one of the most popular types of vegetables and is particularly popular during its main harvest season from July to October. Not only because of the taste, but also because of the versatile preparation options. For example, you can also cook zucchini in the pan.
In order to preserve the unique taste of the zucchini, there are a few tips to keep in mind. This is how zucchini becomes a simple yet delicious dish.
Not too hot and not too long
Young, small courgettes are very tender. Like other pumpkin fruits, they contain a lot of water. When frying, you should therefore make sure that your zucchini vegetables cook in a very short time. If the vegetables are left in the hot pan for too long, they can burn quickly.
» Tip: Do not set the temperature of your hob too high. First, fry the courgettes briefly at high temperature. Then either turn off the hotplate completely or set it to a lower power level. This is how your zucchini vegetables are gently fried.
Fry in vegetable oil
It is best to use sunflower oil or olive oil for the frying fat. Not only do these oils not burn as quickly as butter, they also add a nice flavor to the vegetables.
Use a good quality oil, but use very little to preserve the zucchini's inherent flavor. This way you also reduce unnecessary calories.

If you want to add an extra flavor to your zucchini vegetables, add some chopped garlic while frying. It can also be a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme.
