Steps:
- Use the widest setting on a vegetable spiral slicer and turn the zucchini into ribbons. Stop every couple of turns to cut the ribbons into 2 to3-inch pieces.
- Whisk together the flour, beer, lemon zest and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Attach the deep fat fry thermometer and bring the oil to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels and keep it nearby.
- Working one small handful at a time, add the zucchini curls to the beer batter and use tongs to toss and coat (like tossing spaghetti in sauce!). Pick up the battered curls a few at a time with the tongs and let as much excess batter drip off as possible. Being careful of the hot oil, drop the battered zucchini into the hot oil. Use a second pair of tongs or a slotted spoon to turn and help move the zucchini around, separating the pieces as best you can while they fry. Fry until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer to the paper-towel lined baking sheet. Continue to fry in small batches. Serve hot (you can reheat in a 325 degrees F oven if needed).

Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they can be watery and less flavorful.
- Cut the zucchini into even-sized sticks. This will help them cook evenly. If the sticks are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be as crispy.
- Use a light hand when coating the zucchini sticks in batter. You don't want the batter to be too thick, or it will weigh down the zucchini and make it soggy.
- Fry the zucchini sticks in hot oil. This will help them cook quickly and evenly. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the zucchini sticks, or they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Drain the zucchini sticks on paper towels before serving. This will help remove any excess oil.
Conclusion:
Beer-battered zucchini sticks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or potlucks. With their crispy coating and tender, flavorful interior, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a tasty and healthy snack, give beer-battered zucchini sticks a try.
