Crispy Fried Zucchini
Source of Recipe
Maggiano's Little Italy
List of Ingredients
Zucchini - Washed and stems removed. Cut zucchini into 6 1/2" length and 1/4" wide
Batter (see recipe below)Recipe
Dip each individual slice of zucchini in batter and allow batter to briefly drip off zucchini. Dip zucchini into Japanese breadcrumbs pressing into crumbs to coat well.
Carefully place onto a parchment lined sheet tray sprinkled with Japanese crumbs. Place zucchini side by side. Do not overlap.
You can put a second sheet of parchment on top and repeat...creating a second layer. Do not stack higher than two layers.
Fry the breaded zucchini strips in a 350 degree fryer until crisp and golden. Drain on a napkin lined half sheet tray to absorb grease.
Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and (optional) 1 tbs. of cheese of choice.
Place zucchini on napkin lined sandwich plate...off-setting strips to create some height.
It can be served with a side cup of 4 oz. Lemon Aioli and 1/2 Lemon. You can also sprinkle with 1/2 tbs. chopped parsley.
