FRIED SQUASH AND/OR ZUCCHINI
Fried zucchini is a Southern delicacy, but not all fried zucchini recipes are created equal. This one is delicious. Salting and sweating the zucchini before frying pulls most of the extra moisture from the zucchini or yellow squash. That step makes the crust stick much better. These fried zucchini chips are perfectly seasoned...

Steps:
- 1. Slice squash into rounds 1/8"-1/4" thick.
- 2. When I have time, I salt the squash and let it sit for about 30 minutes to sweat out the excess water but when I am in a hurry I skip this step.
- 3. Combine milk and egg in a small bowl.
- 4. In a 2nd bowl (I use a plate) combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- 5. If you set the squash aside to sweat, dab them dry with a paper towel.
- 6. Then dip them in the egg mixture.
- 7. Then dredge them in the dry mixture.
- 8. Continue this process until all the rounds have been dredged.
- 9. Using enough to cover the bottom of the pan, heat oil in a large skillet using medium to medium high heat. Place squash in skillet and fry both sides of squash until golden brown.
- 10. Once fried, place on a paper towel to absorb extra oil.
BATTER FRIED ZUCCHINI OR SQUASH
Remember the power of ONE for a light, crisp batter. I use any kind of summer squash I have growing in the garden -- zucchini, Yellow Crookneck, Patty Pan, 8 Ball, Papaya Pear, Sunburst, ... . IMO, the best size for frying is when the seeds have begun to develop but before they've gotten large and hard. The immature seeds add depth to the flavor. Cooking time will vary with the size of your frying utensil.

Steps:
- Clean and cut up zucchini/squash. I like to cut them into sticks rather than slices because that shape fries more evenly in deep fat without need of turning.
- Pre-heat oven to 250.
- Prepare an oven-proof pan by lining it with several paper towels.
- Either heat your deep fryer to the temperature recommended for fried squash in its manual or heat 2 inches of frying grease (I prefer a 50-50 mix of oil and shortening), in your preferred, stove-top, frying utensil -- mine is a cast iron chicken fryer -- until a drop of water thrown into the grease sizzles vigorously but not violently.
- While the grease is heating beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Beat in the milk, seasonings, and finally the flour. The batter will be thin and may have a few lumps.
- Toss a skillet's worth of squash sticks in the batter and coat thoroughly.
- When the grease is ready carefully drop in the battered sticks, being sure not to drop them right on top of each other. If you are in doubt of your ability to do this without burning yourself use tongs.
- Yes, the thin batter will have drippy bits that dangle from the sticks and there will be a lot of little, batter crispies in the grease. The drippy bits are what makes this batter light and crisp where a thicker batter might be heavy.
- If necessary turn the pieces over partway through so as to brown them evenly.
- When nicely brown transfer the sticks to the prepared pan and put them into the oven while you fry the next batch. Do not try to fry too much at once or the temperature of the grease will drop and the coating will end up soggy and greasy.
- When the squash is done serve with grated Parmesan at the table.
- Some people might like ranch or blue cheese dressing instead or a simple dipping sauce made from sour cream, fresh dill, and a bit of lemon juice to thin it.
- This recipe doubles nicely. But if you need more than that I suggest making separate, additional batches since the rising power fades after long sitting.
- Leftovers can be reheated on a baking sheet in a 450 degree oven. The microwave would make them soggy and unpleasant.
- This batter is also good on eggplant, onion rings, and chicken tenders.
- Note: If you do not keep self-rising flour in the house you can use 1 cup all-purpose flour mixed with 1tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt instead.

Steps:
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot such as a Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Whisk together panko and Parmesan in a pie plate; season with salt and pepper. Place flour and eggs in two separate pie plates, and season each with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Dredge zucchini in flour, tapping off excess. Dip into eggs, turning to coat, then remove, allowing excess to drip back into dish. Transfer to panko mixture, turning to coat, and pressing gently to adhere.
- Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, carefully lower zucchini into hot oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over and tender in the center, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Allow oil to return to 350 degrees between batches. Remove and drain on prepared baking sheet. Season with salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

- Prepare two bowls - one with eggs, and the other with a mixture of almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Get a third bowl and place just enough of the flour mixture in it to cover the bottom in a thick layer.
- Dip each zucchini/squash circle in the eggs, shaking off the excess. Place the circle into the third bowl (the one with just a little flour mixture). Use a spoon to dust more flour mixture (from the second bowl) over the top of the zucchini/squash circle (in the third bowl) to cover completely. Press lightly, then flip and cover the other side. (Use one hand for the egg and the other for the dry mixture, to avoid getting too much egg in the breading which will make it clumpy. You may want to add more dry mixture to the bowl in batches to avoid getting it too wet. It won't stick if it gets too wet.) Set the breaded slice aside. Repeat with all zucchini/squash slices, adding more flour mixture from the third bowl to the second as you go along. Doing this in batches this way prevents the breading from getting too wet/clumpy.
- Heat 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of oil in a pan over medium-high heat (adjust more/less oil as needed to prevent sticking). Fry the breaded zucchini/squash slices in a single layer, with a lid and without touching, about 2 minutes per side. When done, transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more oil if the pan gets dry.
