Friedzucchinibatter Recipes

Steps:

• Place zucchini and onions in a medium bowl and mix together.
• In a small bowl mix flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Pour dry mixture over zucchini/onion mixture, cover bowl and shake well. Let mixture sit for about 30 minutes; a batter will form on the vegetables.
• In a medium skillet heat oil over medium heat. When oil is hot add breaded vegetables and fry, turning to brown evenly.

Steps:

• Coat each zucchini slice with egg, then press into cracker crumbs, coating both sides. Shake off excess and place the breaded zucchini onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan fry zucchini until crust browns and zucchini softens, about 3 minutes on each side. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In medium mixing bowl mix all the above until smooth. Dip sliced zucchini in batter and fry in 1/3 inch hot oil till golden brown.
• This recipe usually will cover 12-15" long zucchini cut in 1/3" slices.

Steps:

• Place the beaten eggs in a bowl. Place the flour on a dish. Dip the zucchini in the eggs, then dredge in the flour to coat.
• Melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated zucchini slices in the margarine until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
• Stir 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the panko, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk the eggs in another medium bowl to blend. Working in batches, dip the zucchini in the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Coat the zucchini in the panko mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Place the zucchini strips on a baking sheet.
• When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the zucchini sticks until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to paper towels and drain.
• Arrange the fried zucchini on a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.

Steps:

• Clean and cut up zucchini/squash. I like to cut them into sticks rather than slices because that shape fries more evenly in deep fat without need of turning.
• Pre-heat oven to 250.
• Prepare an oven-proof pan by lining it with several paper towels.
• Either heat your deep fryer to the temperature recommended for fried squash in its manual or heat 2 inches of frying grease (I prefer a 50-50 mix of oil and shortening), in your preferred, stove-top, frying utensil -- mine is a cast iron chicken fryer -- until a drop of water thrown into the grease sizzles vigorously but not violently.
• While the grease is heating beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Beat in the milk, seasonings, and finally the flour. The batter will be thin and may have a few lumps.
• Toss a skillet's worth of squash sticks in the batter and coat thoroughly.
• When the grease is ready carefully drop in the battered sticks, being sure not to drop them right on top of each other. If you are in doubt of your ability to do this without burning yourself use tongs.
• Yes, the thin batter will have drippy bits that dangle from the sticks and there will be a lot of little, batter crispies in the grease. The drippy bits are what makes this batter light and crisp where a thicker batter might be heavy.
• If necessary turn the pieces over partway through so as to brown them evenly.
• When nicely brown transfer the sticks to the prepared pan and put them into the oven while you fry the next batch. Do not try to fry too much at once or the temperature of the grease will drop and the coating will end up soggy and greasy.
• When the squash is done serve with grated Parmesan at the table.
• Some people might like ranch or blue cheese dressing instead or a simple dipping sauce made from sour cream, fresh dill, and a bit of lemon juice to thin it.
• This recipe doubles nicely. But if you need more than that I suggest making separate, additional batches since the rising power fades after long sitting.
• Leftovers can be reheated on a baking sheet in a 450 degree oven. The microwave would make them soggy and unpleasant.
• This batter is also good on eggplant, onion rings, and chicken tenders.
• Note: If you do not keep self-rising flour in the house you can use 1 cup all-purpose flour mixed with 1tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt instead.

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot such as a Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Whisk together panko and Parmesan in a pie plate; season with salt and pepper. Place flour and eggs in two separate pie plates, and season each with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Dredge zucchini in flour, tapping off excess. Dip into eggs, turning to coat, then remove, allowing excess to drip back into dish. Transfer to panko mixture, turning to coat, and pressing gently to adhere.
• Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, carefully lower zucchini into hot oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over and tender in the center, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Allow oil to return to 350 degrees between batches. Remove and drain on prepared baking sheet. Season with salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Trim stem ends from zucchini and cut either crosswise into slices about 1/2-inch thick or into French-fry-like sticks. Heat the oven to 200. Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Set up an assembly line of a plate of flour, the plate of eggs and a plate of bread crumbs. Have a baking sheet ready, and several rectangles of wax or parchment paper.
• Coat a zucchini piece in the flour, dip in the egg and coat in the bread crumbs. You want a thin, even layer of each coating; shake off any excess. Put coated zucchini on baking sheet in a single layer, top with wax or parchment paper and repeat with remaining slices. Chill for at least 10 minutes or up to 3 hours.
• Put a large heavy skillet or a deep broad saucepan over medium heat and pour in enough oil to come up the sides at least 1/2 inch. While the oil heats, line a plate with paper towels. The oil is ready when a pinch of flour sizzles immediately.
• Put a few zucchini pieces in the oil without crowding. When the bottoms brown, after 2 to 3 minutes, turn and cook the other side for 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting heat to keep oil sputtering without smoking or burning zucchini. As each piece is done, put it on the paper towels to drain, turning to blot it on both sides if needed. Transfer to an ovenproof platter and keep warm in oven while you finish cooking. Add and heat up oil as necessary.
• Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Rub zucchini slices with garlic.
• Place flour, egg, and bread crumbs separately in 3 small bowls. Turn zucchini slices in flour, dusting off excess. Dip in egg and turn in bread crumbs.
• Heat oil in a skillet and pan-fry breaded zucchini in batches on both sides until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix flour and cornmeal, set aside. Soak zucchini in buttermilk for at least one hour. Coat in flour mixture. Deep fry until golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat the oil to a frying temperature of 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.
• Wash the flowers and dry thoroughly.
• Put the egg and milk into a shallow dish and whisk to combine. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Sift the flour and cornstarch with a little more salt and pepper into another shallow dish.
• Dip the zucchini blossoms into the egg wash, then dredge in the flour mixture. Plop into the hot oil and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together flour, beer, and salt and season with pepper.
• Halve zucchini crosswise. Cut each half into 6 spears and put, skin side down, on a cutting board. With a sharp thin knife cut a lengthwise slit about 1/2 inch deep along top edge of each spear. Halve basil leaves lengthwise and, using dull side of a small knife, push a half leaf into slit of each spear.
• In an 8-inch heavy saucepan or deep skillet heat 1 inch oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375° F.
• Working in batches of 6, coat spears in batter, letting excess drip off, and fry until deep golden, about 2 minutes, transferring with tongs to paper towels to drain.

Steps:

• Heat electric fry pan to 250°F.
• Mix eggs and milk in bowl.
• Soak handful of zucchini slices in mixture.
• Lightly shake them off and coat them with flour.
• Place each slice in the fry pan with plenty of butter.
• Repeat until all slices are in the pan.
• Cook until each side is dark brown.
• Salt and pepper slices to taste.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat your oil in a high sided pot to 375 degrees over medium high heat.
• Meanwhile, gently toss the zucchini spears with 1 tablespoon of flour.
• Mix together the 1/2 cup flour, salt, baking powder.
• Add the beer and mix gently. Don't worry about lumps.
• When your oil is ready, dip the zucchini in the batter, then fry to a golden brown colour. Make sure to not crowd them in the pot, a few at a time only.
• Drain on paper towel and enjoy.
• Sriracha-Lime Mayonnaise:.
• 2 tbs kewpie mayonnaise (Japanese mayo), 2 tsp sriracha, 2 tsp lime juice, touch of lime zest. Mix all ingredients together.

Steps:

• Slice the zucchini into thin slices.
• Put the flour on one plate and the breadcrumbs on another plate.
• Mix the milk and egg together in a bowl.
• Coat zucchini slices with flour on both sides.
• Dip into the egg/milk mixture and coat on both sides.
• Thickly coat the slices with breadcrumbs on both sides.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet.
• Fry the slices in the oil, flip them over and fry on both sides until golden brown.
• Enjoy!
