My First Yellow Crookneck Squash Fried Recipes

Steps:

• Add enough canola oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet. Heat over medium to medium-high heat.
• Slice squash. Sprinkle slices with salt, then roll in cornmeal to coat.
• Add all squash slices to the hot oil and allow to fry for 5 minutes without turning. Turn and continue to fry, flipping every so often, until crispy and golden brown on both sides, 10 to 15 more minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Choose young paler yellow squash that has dropped the bloom. Older, darker yellow squash will be tougher & more seedier.
• 2. Slice yellow squash, with skin on, about 3/16" thick.
• 3. Mix the egg & milk & then drop in the sliced squash.
• 4. With flour in another bowl or using your batter pro, dredge in flour, making sure you pat it on to make it adhere to squash good.If using batter pro, no need to pat it on.
• 5. Squash is now ready to fry.
• 6. Heat about 2" canola oil in cast iron skillet or dutch oven.
• 7. Drop squash, one at a time into hot oil, turning only once when the first side is browned.
• 8. Let the second half brown & get crispy.
• 9. Remove from skillet & place on paper towels to drain. As soon as you take it out, while still hot, salt & pepper it. Cover with another paper towel while you finish the rest of it.
• 10. Goes good with anything.
• 11. Another way we do this is to bread it as mentioned & then lay it in layers in a pan like fried potatoes & let it crust on bottom before you start turning it over in the pan. It kind of steams it too. It's like cooking fried potatoes.

Steps:

• Place cornbread mix in a gallon-size resealable bag; season with salt and black pepper. Add squash, seal bag, and shake to coat evenly. Remove squash from bag and shake off any excess cornmeal.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry squash in the hot oil, working in batches, until center is cooked and edges are crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until oil is hot; decrease heat to medium. Cook and stir onion and potatoes in the hot oil until potatoes are lightly browned and partially cooked, 15 to 20 minutes. Add squash, butter, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook until potatoes are golden brown, 15 to 20 more minutes, turning occasionally. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to the high broil setting. Set a rack in the oven 3 to 4-inches from the broiler.
• In a medium bowl toss the sliced squash with the oil, rosemary, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Lay the squash in a single layer on a cooling rack set inside a foil lined half sheet pan. Broil until the squash is golden brown on 1 side, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk the eggs, ricotta, and Parmesan together in a medium mixing bowl. Put the squash in a 10-inch nonstick, oven-safe saute pan set over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir with a silicone spatula to make sure egg gets under the squash. Cook without stirring until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set on top, about 4 to 5 minutes. Put the pan under the broiler until lightly browned and puffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Loosen the frittata from the pan by moving a rubber spatula around the edges. Slide the frittata onto a plate or other serving dish, and cut into 6 servings. Serve warm or at room temperature.
