For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the flour mixture. If you don't have cornmeal, you can substitute with more flour, but the cornmeal adds a wonderful texture and subtle sweetness. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy zucchini. Work in batches if necessary. To keep the fried zucchini crispy while you fry the remaining batches, place the cooked zucchini on a wire rack in a warm oven (200°F or 95°C).
