Fried Zucchini Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Zucchini
Wash the baby zucchini thoroughly and slice them in half lengthwise. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold water while whisking until the batter is smooth and has no lumps.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
- 4
Fry the Zucchini
Dip each zucchini half into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried zucchini from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while hot. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
