Easy Deep Fried Summer Squash image

For as long as I can remember my family has loved fried summer squash. Over the years, I have either pan fried them or deep fried them, but I think the results are so much better when it's deep fried. They come out so crispy and delicious and this recipe is so easy to do. Hope you enjoy it.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 or 4 medium yellow summer squash
1 1/2 c milk
1 large egg
3/4 c flour (preferably self rising, but all purpose will work)
3/4 c corn meal (preferably self rising, but plain will work)
oil for frying
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the squash and slice off the ends and discard. Slice squash into thin slices, about 1/8" thick. Set aside.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine egg and milk, mixing thoroughly with fork. In another shallow bowl or plate, combine flour and corn meal.
  • 3. Dip squash in milk mixture and then roll in flour mixture, coating both sides.
  • 4. Drop into hot oil (375 degrees) into a deep fryer. Fry for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to let the grease drain. Do not drain on paper towels or the squash will become soggy.
  • 5. After a few minutes, transfer to a serving dish and salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
  • 6. Note: You may increase or decrease flour and meal as necessary.

I followed the recipe exactly and the squash was still undercooked. I had to cook it for an extra 5 minutes to get it to the desired doneness.

This recipe is a keeper! It's easy to make and the squash is so delicious. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this recipe. I'm not usually a fan of squash, but the breading made all the difference. It was crispy and flavorful, and the squash was cooked perfectly.

This is a great recipe for using up summer squash. It's simple to make and the results are delicious. I especially like the addition of the Parmesan cheese to the breading.

This recipe was incredibly easy to follow and the results were delicious! The squash was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a flavorful breading. I served it with a side of ranch dressing and it was a hit with the whole family.
