How to cook fried zucchini for the winter

The first thing we need to do to get started is prepare the zucchini. They need to be washed and cut into circles approximately 1 cm thick.

Place them on a baking sheet or in a bowl and sprinkle with vegetable oil, mix gently but well.

We do this so as not to pour oil into the pan during frying. Now you need to fry all the zucchini. It will be more beautiful if grilled in a frying pan, but this is not necessary.

Place the fried pieces in a bowl.

Now, you need to cook the marinade.To do this, mix all the ingredients in a saucepan. Finely chop the garlic. Chili pepper can be either fresh, in which case it needs to be finely chopped, or as a spice, only flakes. Bring the marinade to a boil over low heat.

IN clean Pack the jar tightly with layers of zucchini and fill it with hot marinade.

Do not roll up fried zucchini with garlic in a spicy marinade right away, wait until the marinade settles completely, you may have to add more. The zucchini should be completely covered in the spicy marinade.

Now all that remains is to roll up the jars with clean lids and wrap them until they cool.

In winter, you simply cannot buy such delicious zucchini preparations in stores. How great it will be to enjoy a ready-made marinated appetizer out of season. These zucchini are great to eat on sandwiches or just as a stand-alone snack with any side dish or meat. Bon appetit.
