Easy Deep Fried Summer Squash Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 350°. Place squash in a large bowl. Add oil and seasonings; toss to coat., In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and cheese. Dip squash in crumb mixture to coat both sides, patting to help coating adhere. In batches, arrange squash in a single layer on tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until squash is tender and coating is golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine egg and milk together in a small bowl, mix well.
• In a second bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Dip squash slices first in the egg mixture, then dredge the squash in the dry mixture.
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry squash until golden brown.

Steps:

• 1. Approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours before serving time, in a plastic food storage bag, shake together cornmeal and salt; set aside.
• 2. Wash & dry squash; cut off stem & blossom ends; slice into rounds that are approximately 1/8 inch thick.
• 3. Drop squash slices into the bag with the cornmeal; seal bag & shake vigorously; set aside for at least an hour, shaking gently every 10 to 15 minutes. (This is necessary because the squash will exude some of it's juice, and the juice helps the cornmeal to stick to the squash.)
• 4. Place several layers of paper towels on a 1 1/2 foot length of aluminum foil or heat-resistant plate/platter; set next to stove.
• 5. After the squash has been in the cornmeal for an hour or two, pour oil into large skillet.
• 6. Heat oil on stovetop over medium-high heat.
• 7. Working in batches (usually 3,) add a single layer of cornmeal-coated squash slices quickly, one at a time, to cover bottom of skillet.
• 8. Fry squash, turning frequently, until light golden brown on both sides (I use tongs or a fork for turning.) You may need to lower heat slightly toward the end of the first batch.
• 9. Remove to paper towels as desired browning is achieved. Continue adding squash to hot oil, as space permits.
• 10. Taste-test one of the fried squash slices to determine if it needs a sprinkle of salt. Season as desired. Serve immediately.
• 11. Any leftover cornmeal mixture may be stored in refrigerator for the next time you fry squash, okra etc...

Steps:

• 1. Peel squash with a potato peeler(my preference)
• 2. Slice thickness you prefer
• 3. Put squash in milk
• 4. Put all dry ingredients in a bowl and blend
• 5. Put squash in dry mixture to coat then add to hot oil.
• 6. Cook until golden brown remove and drain.

Steps:

• Allow squash to rest for 5 minutes after cutting to release its moisture. Stir the flour, sugar, and salt together in a shallow bowl. Dredge the squash slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and set aside until needed.
• Melt the shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the squash in a single layer in the skillet. Cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Place cornbread mix in a gallon-size resealable bag; season with salt and black pepper. Add squash, seal bag, and shake to coat evenly. Remove squash from bag and shake off any excess cornmeal.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry squash in the hot oil, working in batches, until center is cooked and edges are crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
