Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Start by preparing the vegetables. Peel and cut the potatoes and carrots into sticks. Slice the zucchini into sticks as well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. This will be the batter for your fritto misto.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato wedges to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Fry the Carrots

    Next, add the carrot sticks to the oil and fry until they are crispy, around 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain.

  6. 6

    Fry the Zucchini

    Add the zucchini sticks to the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden. Remove and drain.

  7. 7

    Fry the Calamari and Shrimp

    Dredge the calamari rings and shrimp in the batter mixture and fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Arrange all the fried ingredients on a serving platter and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
