Meanwhile, heat a large skillet filled with about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until very hot (about 350°F). Working in batches, cook 8 to 10 pieces of zucchini in a single layer until golden brown all over, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and transfer to a wire rack set over a sheet pan (or a sheet pan lined with paper towels). Keep the fried zucchini warm in the oven. Continue to fry the remaining zucchini, adding more oil as needed to the skillet.
