Mid August is the season for zucchini.It graces gardens and farmers markets. Its also on e of th e more versatile squashes and can be used as ingredient in ratatouille as well as turned into crunchy fires. If you haven/ yet then do so. It;s time to enjoy zucchini fries.
I made them for a fun Sunday lunch yesterday.It;s more about prepping them.It starts with a vegan batter.
I used the recipe I found on Nourished By Nic site and modified it. There were no measurements so I had to figure them out myself. One cup of flour beaten with a half of cup of almond milk makes for a pancake like batter. I added pinches of salt ,pepper and garlic powder. The sticks would be dipped into this first them rolled in bread crumbs for a really crunch coating.These are the spices .If you want some zing, the add a pinch of cayenne pepper.You could also try cumin or turmeric tooIt was then slicing the zucchini.First slice it in half.
Then cut in half again
Now cut those in quarters .They'll look like pickle spears.It's then dipping and rolling until they're all completely coated.Fry in small batches (about six to eight ) for fifteen minutes at 380 degrees Farenheit. Cook for seven minutes first , then flip them over and cook for another eight. They should be golden and crispy.
These were way too good and all five batches went quickly I would add more garlic powder though for more flavor along with more salt and pepper. I plant on making these again very soon.
It's zucchini season . Make these crunchy fries for a fun meal, side or even snack. They 're good for you while being deliciously crunchy and crispy.
