Fried Zucchini Straws

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut off the ends, then slice each zucchini into long, thin strips resembling straws.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Zucchini Straws

    Dip each zucchini strip first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Place on a tray and repeat until all zucchini are breaded.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Zucchini Straws

    Carefully add the zucchini straws to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried zucchini straws with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
