Deep-Fried Zucchini Spirals



Flip it!

I made these for dinner tonight – big hit!Everybody loved them…too bad I didn’t make nearly enough!

Oh yummy!!! Is zucchini hard to grow down here in Florida, anyone know? By the way Ree, the creators of Beavis and Butthead have a new cartoon out. It’s called “The Goode Family”. 🙂

Looks delish! I’ll have to add last night’s dinner to Tasty Kitchen: vegetarian tacos, made with shredded zucchini and carrots, sauteed with onions & garlic and seasoned with whatever spices caught my eye: cumin, chili powder, chipotle powder, salt, pepper, paprika and salt.

This really looks good.
I ahve some home grown zucchini and yellow summer squash.
I am going to sautee them in this strips to go with dinner tonight.

Looks good, Ree…BTW, it’s OK that you said “naked”…now, if you had said “nekkid” on this family oriented site it might be different…

Call me Evil. When we grew an organic garden, the zucchini’s took over the world. I must admit that for every one I picked, I buried one in the compost pile. I know, I know….but the neighbors ran AWAY from me when I approached them with my bounty.

And gosh, I couldn’t stuff anymore into the freezer or into the family! And wouldn’t you know it, the compost pile gave birth to……more of them! It was like a disease! The recipes look good, after all, anything tastes good fried, but I think I’ll pass on these recipes. I’ve had enough zucchini to last a lifetime. Beware of gardeners bearing gifts….it just might be more zucchini!

Ingredients:

3 cups vegetable oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 zucchini, cut into spirals using a spiral slicer
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or to tasteing

Directions:

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl; pour into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Whisk flour and cornstarch together in another bowl; pour into a separate gallon-size resealable plastic bag.
Place zucchini spirals into milk mixture, seal the bag, and turn to coat spirals completely. Transfer zucchini to flour mixture, seal the bag, and shake gently to coat completely. Remove spirals from flour mixture and shake gently to remove any excess flour.
Working in batches, cook zucchini spirals in the preheated oil until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle seafood season over cooked zucchini spirals.
