Prepare the Zucchini: Dredge each zucchini slice in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with a mixture of the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Cook the Zucchini: Frying Option: Heat oil in a skillet and fry the coated zucchini slices until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Baking Option: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the coated zucchini slices on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Lightly spray with oil and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Make the Basil Mayo: In a blender or food processor, puree the mayonnaise and basil together until smooth.
Serve: Enjoy the crispy zucchini chips with the basil mayo on the side for dipping.
