Fried Squash Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squash

    Wash the yellow squash and slice it into thin rounds.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In a shallow bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Squash

    Dip each squash slice first into the egg mixture, then coat it with the cornmeal mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Carefully place the breaded squash slices into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried squash from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
