Cut the zucchini into 10 slices, each approximately 2 cm thick. Blanch in salted water for 1-2 minutes, drain well, and let them wilt. Halve the prosciutto slices lengthwise. Season the zucchini slices with pepper and salt, place a sage leaf on each zucchini slice, and wrap them in the prosciutto. Fry the zucchini parcels in hot oil until crispy on both sides.
