Fried Squash Basket Ingredients

Method

Fried Squash Basket Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squash

    Wash the fresh yellow squash thoroughly. Slice the squash into thin rounds.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In one bowl, combine flour, McKoy’s seasoning, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

  3. 3

    Dredge the Squash

    Dip each squash slice into the egg mixture, then coat with the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are well covered.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Squash

    Carefully place the breaded squash slices in the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried squash from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping dressing.
