Softest and tastiest sautéed zucchinis you have ever tried. You will say that for sure after you try them. It’s so easy to make too. I actually created this version of the recipe myself. My husband was saying once to me shortly after we bought our house and was able to do gardening that his mom was sautéing zucchinis with mayonnaise and garlic. So, I got a zucchini out of the garden and tried to make it. When I made these zucchini, I came up with the rest of the ingredients myself. My husband loved it, he said: “Wow, tastes exactly like my mom’s.” From then on we were making sautéed zucchinis every gardening season. My kids didn’t like it at first. They would say that it’s too spicy. The last time I made them, they asked, "What was the spicy taste that we didn’t like?" Garlic, I said. Now as kids got older they started to love it so much, that it’s all gone as soon as I make it. You can serve it with mashed potatoes like we usually eat it, or enjoy it plain. It’s also great refrigerated. You can eat and eat them as a snack! 🙂
Ingredients you will need:
2 - large zucchini
3 – eggs
1 tsp. – salt
¼ tsp. black ground pepper
1 cup – mayonnaise
5 garlic cloves
1 cup – all-purpose flour
Oil for sautéing.
Instructions:
Slice zucchinis. Set aside.
In a small bowl add mayonnaise and pressed garlic.
Stir it together and set aside.
In a medium bowl add eggs, salt and pepper.
Wisk it together for 1 minute.
Place sliced zucchinis into egg mixture
Add two table spoons of oil onto a large skillet.
Take one slice at a time from the egg mixture, and dip one side into the flour, and then the other side.
Place the dipped sliced zucchinis on the skillet.
Sauté for 2 minutes on low, or until golden brown.
Turn them over and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, or until its golden brown.
Remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel, to remove most of the oil.
Place sautéed zucchinis onto a plate.
Dip table spoon into garlic and mayonnaise mixture and whatever gets stuck to the spoon you spread it on top side of zucchini only.
Then place another slice of sautéed zucchini on top of the other one, spread mayo mixture. Repeat this steps until you are done with all sliced zucchinis.
I usually separate large sautéed zucchini slices from small ones into a two different plates. It’s easier to store and to spread mayo mixture on them.
Enjoy!

This is the only way we eat zucchini 🙂 I always dip the zucchini in flour first, then the egg, that way the egg has something to stick to 🙂 thanks for sharing!
