Crunchy Deep Fried Zucchini
Yet another zucchini recipe. I hope we can get on top of those awful squash bugs so we can enjoy squash for a little bit more. I got this recipe from a 1990 Southern Living Annual Recipes. We only have it once usually during the summer but it is yummy.
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp onion salt
- 1/2 tsp ground oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg slightly beaten
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 medium zucchini
- 1 cup crushed corn flakes
- vegetable oil
- ranch dressing
Combine first 4 ingredients, add egg, milk and olive oil, stirring until well blended. Set aside.
Cut zucchini in half crosswise, cut each half in 8 strips. Dip zucchini in batter, shake off excess, and dredge in crushed cornflakes.
Pour oil to a depth of 2 or 3 inches into a Dutch oven or heavy saucepan; heat to 350.
Fry zucchini in small batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and serve immediately with ranch dressing.
