1. Rinse the zucchini thoroughly under cold running water and dry well. Cut the ends off and slice into rounds.

2. Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan until very hot. Fry the zucchini in batches for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown all over. Drain well on paper towels.

4. Season with the salt and pepper. Cover and let marinate for 24 hours. Serve at room temperature.
