DELICIOUS ZUCCHINI FRENCH FRIES



Delicious Zucchini French Fries image

A slightly naughty but nice way with this veggie, which can be bland. This is delicious as snack, side dish, and especially to serve with hamburgers instead of french fries! Always make more than you think will be eaten, because it's always a hit! Here, I give quantities, but it's approximate. So is the time required. It's no problem slicing the zucchini earlier in the day and keeping it, covered, in a bowl, until needed. It absorbs very little oil and no deep oil cooking is required. Have some flaky sea salt handy ...

Categories     Greens

Time 50m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb zucchini, small
1 lemon (you need the juice from 1/2 lemon)
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup cornmeal (less, actually!)
1 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Wash, top and tail the small zucchinis.
  • Slice each in half, then slice into julienne strips, thin, like thin french fries. At this stage they can be put into a plastic bag or bowl, and kept until needed.
  • To prepare: Squeeze the juice from 1/2 of the lemon -- you should have about 3 - 4 tablespoons. In a bowl, toss the zucchini strips, using a large spoon, with the lemon juice, until damp. Use more lemon juice if necessary.
  • Mix the flour and cornflour (less than the 1/3 cup mentioned: my maths is bad) in a bowl, and add the black pepper and seasoning salt. (You can actually leave out the salt and rather put flaky sea salt on the table for salting later).
  • Chuck this flour mixture into the bowl of zucchini fries, and toss until more or less coated -- neat work is not necessary.
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a medium saucepan, preferably with heavy bottom.
  • When hot, using a slotted metal spoon, add a good heaped spoonful of zucchini strips to the oil. (I find that it takes about 10 minutes for the zucchini to actually start browning).
  • You can fry them until just done (they won't be crisp, but still nice) or you can fry them until golden brown. They do not colour evenly, which doesn't matter.
  • Put out a few thicknesses of kitchen paper towels next to the pot. When the zucchini strips turn colour, take out with slotted spoon and let drain on the kitchen paper. Repeat process.
  • The quantity given above was about 4 batches to fry (it depends on the saucepan and you!).
  • Tip each drained batch into an oven dish, and keep warm -- but serve as soon as possible, while crisp. Flaky sea salt on unseasoned fries is delicious.

Tips:

  • For crispier fries, use a mandoline slicer to cut the zucchini into even strips.
  • Soak the zucchini strips in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape.
  • Pat the zucchini strips dry before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture. This will help the coating adhere better.
  • Use a light hand when coating the zucchini strips in the breadcrumb mixture. Too much coating will make the fries soggy.
  • Bake the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Flip the fries halfway through baking to ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Zucchini fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional French fries. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed as a snack or a side dish. With their crispy coating and tender interior, zucchini fries are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
