Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium zucchini, - 8 inches long
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons whole milk, homogenized
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
3/4 cup cracker crumb (saltines)
2 cups extra virgin olive oil (for deep frying) or 2 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)
1 (2 ounce) package bearnaise sauce mix

Steps:

  • Wash and trim zucchini, (DO NOT PEEL).
  • Cut zucchini into about 2 1/2" long by 1/2" thick strips.
  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat eggs and milk until fluffy.
  • In a plastic bag, add flour, seasoning salt and shake well.
  • 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.
  • Dip again into egg mixture.
  • Drop into crushed crackers and shake well to coat.
  • Heat olive oil to 325 F to 350 F in a medium-size frying pan or use a deep fryer.
  • Drop coated zucchini (a few at a time) in the hot oil and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes, turning once, (DO NOT OVERCOOK).
  • Zucchini should be crunchy.
  • Serve immediately with Bearnaise Sauce as a dip.
  • SAUCE FOR DIPPING: Prepare contents of Bearnaise sauce according to package directions or make your own.
  • NOTE: Instead of using plastic bags, place the flour mixture in a mixing bowl, and the crumbs in a separate bowl. This will not be quite as messy.
  • Also, Panko crumbs would be excellent or cornflake crumbs.

1 3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3 medium zucchini, cut into 3-inch long by 1/2-inch wide strips

Steps:

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.
