Uncle Bills Deep Fried Zucchini Strips Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and trim zucchini, (DO NOT PEEL).
• Cut zucchini into about 2 1/2" long by 1/2" thick strips.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat eggs and milk until fluffy.
• In a plastic bag, add flour, seasoning salt and shake well.
• In a separate plastic bag, add finely crushed saltine crackers.
• Dip zucchini strips in egg mixture.
• Drop into flour mixture and shake well to coat.
• Dip again into egg mixture.
• Drop into crushed crackers and shake well to coat.
• Heat olive oil to 325 F to 350 F in a medium-size frying pan or use a deep fryer.
• Drop coated zucchini (a few at a time) in the hot oil and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes, turning once, (DO NOT OVERCOOK).
• Zucchini should be crunchy.
• Serve immediately with Bearnaise Sauce as a dip.
• SAUCE FOR DIPPING: Prepare contents of Bearnaise sauce according to package directions or make your own.
• NOTE: Instead of using plastic bags, place the flour mixture in a mixing bowl, and the crumbs in a separate bowl. This will not be quite as messy.
• Also, Panko crumbs would be excellent or cornflake crumbs.
• See recipe #382043.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk buttermilk and eggs together in a shallow dish.
• Mix flour, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt together in a separate shallow dish.
• Dip zucchini sticks into the egg mixture; roll in bread crumbs to coat. Dip in the egg mixture again; reroll in bread crumbs.
• Cook breaded zucchini sticks in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Drain on a large plate lined with paper towels.

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
• Stir 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the panko, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk the eggs in another medium bowl to blend. Working in batches, dip the zucchini in the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Coat the zucchini in the panko mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Place the zucchini strips on a baking sheet.
• When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the zucchini sticks until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to paper towels and drain.
• Arrange the fried zucchini on a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.

Steps:

• Trim stem ends from zucchini and cut either crosswise into slices about 1/2-inch thick or into French-fry-like sticks. Heat the oven to 200. Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Set up an assembly line of a plate of flour, the plate of eggs and a plate of bread crumbs. Have a baking sheet ready, and several rectangles of wax or parchment paper.
• Coat a zucchini piece in the flour, dip in the egg and coat in the bread crumbs. You want a thin, even layer of each coating; shake off any excess. Put coated zucchini on baking sheet in a single layer, top with wax or parchment paper and repeat with remaining slices. Chill for at least 10 minutes or up to 3 hours.
• Put a large heavy skillet or a deep broad saucepan over medium heat and pour in enough oil to come up the sides at least 1/2 inch. While the oil heats, line a plate with paper towels. The oil is ready when a pinch of flour sizzles immediately.
• Put a few zucchini pieces in the oil without crowding. When the bottoms brown, after 2 to 3 minutes, turn and cook the other side for 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting heat to keep oil sputtering without smoking or burning zucchini. As each piece is done, put it on the paper towels to drain, turning to blot it on both sides if needed. Transfer to an ovenproof platter and keep warm in oven while you finish cooking. Add and heat up oil as necessary.
• Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a bowl, combine bread crumbs and cheese topping.
• Dip zucchini strips into egg, then into crumb mixture.
• Place on baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and tender.

Steps:

• Coat each zucchini slice with egg, then press into cracker crumbs, coating both sides. Shake off excess and place the breaded zucchini onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan fry zucchini until crust browns and zucchini softens, about 3 minutes on each side. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Combine egg and water in a shallow dish.
• Combine breadcrumbs, basil and garlic powder in another shallow dish.
• Dip zucchini slices first into egg mixture, then in crumb mixture to coat evenly.
• Let set on cooling rack.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Fry zucchini in hot oil for 3 minutes or until lightly browned.
