Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup flour
2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup panko
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
3 medium (about 7-inch long) zucchini, cut into 1/2-by-3-inch sticks
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the buttermilk ranch dipping sauce: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, chives, dill, celery salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix well. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
  • For the zucchini fries: Add the flour to a shallow baking dish. In a second baking dish, lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. In a third baking dish, combine the panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; gently crush all the ingredients together with your hands--this will ensure an even coating on the zucchini.
  • Lightly coat the zucchini sticks in the flour and then dip into egg mixture, coating evenly. Gently shake to remove excess egg and then generously coat the zucchini in the panko mixture. Transfer the breaded zucchini to a baking sheet.
  • Fill a high-sided skillet with about 1 inch of oil--make sure the oil does not rise more than halfway up the side of the skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the zucchini sticks to the pan. Cook until light golden brown, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately remove the zucchini to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Keep warm in a 175-degree oven until ready to serve.
  • Serve the zucchini fries with the dipping sauce on side.

CRISPY GREEN BEAN FRIES WITH WASABI CUCUMBER RANCH DIP



CRISPY GREEN BEAN FRIES WITH WASABI CUCUMBER RANCH DIP image

Categories     Bean     Appetizer

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 20

Dip
½ cup bottled ranch dressing (I used Hidden Valley)
¼ cup cucumbers, peeled, seeded, minced
1 tablespoon milk
1 ½ teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon wasabi powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
For the beans
1 egg beaten
1 cup of milk
4 cups of vegetable broth or chicken broth
6 to 8 ounces of fresh green beans
1 cup of flour
1 cup plain breadcrumbs or seasoned dry bread crumbs
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Oil for frying (I use canola)

Steps:

  • To prepare the dip: Combine dip ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth. Place in a bowl: cover and chill till ready to use. Dip will thicken as it chills. To prepare the beans: Place beans in broth. Bring to a boil and cook 15 minutes, then drain and place in cold water to stop cooking process. Mix beaten egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Measure 1 cup of flour into another shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs, ¾ teaspoon salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder into a third bowl. Take a handful of beans out of the water and shake off excess liquid. Coat the beans with the flour, shaking to remove excess flour. Dip the beans, one at a time, into egg/milk mixture, then dip in breadcrumb mixture. Place the beans on a plate until all are coated. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Use enough to cover the beans. Fry until golden brown, about 1 ½ minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Tips:

- For the crispiest fries, use russet potatoes. They have a higher starch content than other types of potatoes, which helps them crisp up nicely. - Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. - Soak the potato fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together. - Dry the potato fries thoroughly before frying. This will help them crisp up and prevent them from becoming soggy. - Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the potato fries. This will help them cook quickly and evenly. - Fry the potato fries in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy. - Season the potato fries with salt and pepper to taste. - Serve the potato fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
