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.

My serving sizes are off, I just threw numbers in.

- In a separate plastic bag, add finely crushed saltine crackers.
- Dip zucchini strips in egg mixture.
- Drop into flour mixture and shake well to coat.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and firm zucchini for the best results.
- Use a spiralizer to create thin, even zucchini noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips of zucchini.
- Coat the zucchini noodles in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper before frying. This will help them to crisp up and brown evenly.
- Fry the zucchini noodles in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the zucchini noodles will not cook evenly.
- Serve the fried zucchini noodles immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
