Fried Parmesan Crusted Zucchini: Gluten-Free or Regular

Zucchini is one of the favorite foods in the summer. It is so versatile from low calorie pizza, breads or fried. Zucchini of course is naturally gluten-free, however, to coat it for frying; your favorite gluten-free flour will be required. I live in Amish territory where the Amish stores carry just about any flour you can think of. I use plenty of high gluten flour as well as Bob Red mills all-purpose gluten-free flour.
