I sliced up 3 fresh Zuchini into about 1/4 inch thick slices, removing both end of course.
Everybody in the pool! I stir the slices around so both sides are coated with the batter.
Into the hot oil for a minute or 2 on each side. They cook pretty fast so keep an eye on them. When done frying remove to a paper towel lined baking sheet to drain. I sprinkle them with some salt while still really hot.
VIOLA! The finished product, add a little dipping sauce if you like.
My oldest son Josh went to the store with me today and talked me into making fried Zucchini for dinner. I haven't made these in so long due to the "frying" and the "battering" - not really 2 items that are currently on my diet! But they did taste good. Easy batter recipe is 1 beaten egg, 1 cup of cold water, 1 to 1.5 cups flour and 1 tsp baking soda. Mix ingredients together and dip veggies, fish or whatever in and then deep fry. I used to call this kind of meal a "lard ass meal" for what it does to your waistline and butt! But hey everything in moderation right????
I've battered things then spray lightly with cooking spray and put in pan sprayed with cooking spray then bake or broil. Not as good as the "real thing" but mighty tasty!
