Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

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

Dip each zucchini slice first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high 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 warm.
