Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Olive oil, for frying
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:

  • Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
  • Stir 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the panko, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk the eggs in another medium bowl to blend. Working in batches, dip the zucchini in the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Coat the zucchini in the panko mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Place the zucchini strips on a baking sheet.
  • When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the zucchini sticks until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to paper towels and drain.
  • Arrange the fried zucchini on a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.

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

  • 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.
  • See recipe #382043.

FRIED ZUCCHINI STRINGS



Fried Zucchini Strings image

We are getting ready to have TONS of zucchini soon, so was looking up recipes. Found this on The Pioneer Woman Cooks site and it looks SO tasty! I have not yet tried these. Someone on that site suggested giving them a light flour coating before frying, but I will try them without first. Let me know if anyone tries this before I get to it!
