DEEP FRIED ZUCCHINI
I was looking for a plain old battered, deep fried zucchini, but most on here are seasoned, or breaded and baked. So here is plain old beer battered zucchini, care of momofukufor2.com She has this amazing sriracha-lime mayonnaise for dipping (I'll put it in as the last step); between that and good old dill dip, these things disappear fast. My serving sizes are off, I just threw numbers in.

DEEP-FRIED ZUCCHINI SPIRALS
We have always enjoyed fried zucchini so when I saw the clever way to spiral cut them, I thought why not deep fry them like onion strings. I did and they were a hit! Sprinkle with Old Bay® to make this a perfect side dish for seafood. They can also be served as an appetizer with your favorite dip. The zucchini may be cut into chips if you do not have a spiral slicer.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl; pour into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Whisk flour and cornstarch together in another bowl; pour into a separate gallon-size resealable plastic bag.
- Place zucchini spirals into milk mixture, seal the bag, and turn to coat spirals completely. Transfer zucchini to flour mixture, seal the bag, and shake gently to coat completely. Remove spirals from flour mixture and shake gently to remove any excess flour.
- Working in batches, cook zucchini spirals in the preheated oil until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle seafood season over cooked zucchini spirals.

DEEP FRIED ZUCCHINI WITH CREAMY GARLIC DIP
Yummy! Just like at a restaurant! Who would have thought that just adding garlic to ranch dressing would be what makes this dish!!! I plan on using the ranch dip for other things as well.

Steps:
- Heat oil to approx 350.
- Coat zucchini slices with flour.
- Dip in egg.
- Coat both sides with bread crumbs and carefully place in oil.
- Repeat with all zucchini slices -- do not crowd the pan.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm with garlic dip.
- For the Garlic Dip:.
- Combine all ingredients with a whisk till well blended.
- Store in fridge till ready to serve.
- Try and make well in advance of the zucchini as the longer it sits the better it tastes.
- Good refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm zucchini for the best results. Overripe or soft zucchini will not hold up well during frying.
- Slice the zucchini into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Thicker slices will take longer to cook through, while thinner slices will cook more quickly.
- Coat the zucchini slices in a light batter before frying. This will help to create a crispy outer coating while keeping the inside tender and moist.
- Use a high-quality oil for frying. Olive oil or vegetable oil are both good choices.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the zucchini. The oil should be hot enough to cause the zucchini to sizzle immediately upon contact.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the zucchini. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the zucchini will not cook evenly.
- Cook the zucchini until it is golden brown and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain the zucchini on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
Conclusion:
Deep-fried zucchini is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. With its crispy outer coating and tender, flavorful interior, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give deep-fried zucchini a try.
