How do you get the water out of zucchini before frying it?

[Idris]

How does everyone manage to remove excess water from zucchini before frying? I find mine often ends up too watery, which ruins the texture. Any tips on drying it out properly would be greatly appreciated!

I totally get it—zucchini can be tricky! The best way to remove excess water is to sprinkle some salt on the sliced zucchini and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. The salt will draw out the moisture, and then you can pat it dry with a paper towel. This should help you get that perfect texture when frying.
