ZUCCHINI FRITTERS



Zucchini Fritters image

One day I wanted to serve zucchini as a side dish-but I didn't have the time to slice and deep-fry it. So I came up with these fritters instead! They go especially well with barbecued ribs or pork chops and corn on the cob. I'm an avid recipe clipper. I've also assisted at our church's Wednesday night suppers, cooking for as many as 125 people. -Mary Dixson, Catlin, Illinois

FRIED ZUCCHINI BATTER



Fried Zucchini Batter image

Recipe from box of Argo Cornstarch in the early 80's. This batter is light and tasty. Posting recipe as request from one of my sons. This batter is great for zucchini, but can be used on any thing you would like to fry up! Many reviews complain of the lack of seasoning. I have taken the garlic powder up to 1 tsp. and it helps, a dash of hot sauce works well too. If you must, sprinkle lightly with additional salt immediately after removing from the frying oil. Another tip - I prefer the thinner batter for a lighter and crunchier coating on the veggies (the thicker batter just seems to be too doughy for our tastes).

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.

Tips:

- To achieve the perfect golden-brown color, ensure that the oil is at the correct temperature before adding the battered zucchini slices. Use a candy thermometer to measure the oil temperature, which should be around 375°F (190°C). - For a crispy coating, use a light and airy batter made with ingredients like flour, baking powder, eggs, and milk. Avoid using heavy ingredients like butter or oil in the batter, as these can make the coating soggy. - For a flavorful batter, add herbs and spices like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper. You can also incorporate grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra boost of flavor. - To prevent the zucchini slices from absorbing too much oil, pat them dry with paper towels before dipping them in the batter. This will help ensure a crispy coating and prevent the zucchini from becoming greasy. - Fry the zucchini slices in small batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure that they cook evenly. Use a slotted spoon to carefully flip the slices once, allowing both sides to cook until golden brown. - Drain the fried zucchini slices on paper towels to remove excess oil. This will help keep the coating crispy and prevent the zucchini from becoming soggy. - Serve the fried zucchini slices immediately while they are hot and crispy. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. You can also drizzle them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Deep-fried zucchini is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. With the right batter and cooking techniques, you can achieve a crispy coating and tender, flavorful zucchini. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and dipping sauces to create your own unique fried zucchini recipe. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy-to-make dish, give deep-fried zucchini a try!
