Teaspoon garlic salt

onion powder

Teaspoon kosher salt

Teaspoon celery salt

Tablespoons olive oil (more as needed)

Slice zucchini as thin as possible and place on plate next to stove.

Water

If zucchini sits for a few minutes, sprinkle some water on top of the slices so they remain moist and the flour mixture will stick to it.

Combine

Take medium mixing bowl and combine flour and seasoning &#8211; set next to stove as well.

Heat

Take fry pan and add 2 Tablespoon of olive oil; bring to med-high heat &#8211; it is ready when you can flick water on it and it sizzles.

Coat

Make sure zucchini is still moist and then take a handful of slices and drop into flour mixture.

Then take zucchini and place in fry pan, trying to evenly distribute (you will have to do several batches).

Cook

Flip

Brown

Then continually flip zucchini until all sides are sufficiently browned.

Remove

Repeat

Add another Tablespoon of olive oil to pan and repeat process.

Serve

These homemade fried zucchini are light, crisp, and nearly imposssible to resist! To achieve the light and crisp texture, the zucchini slices are dipped in milk and then tossed gently in seasoned flour before being fried.

Homemade Fried Zucchini

zucchini

vegetable oil (for frying (roughly 5-6 cups))

(240 mL) whole or low-fat milk

(120 g) unbleached all-purpose flour

kosher salt

black pepper

lemon wedges (for serving)

Trim and discard the ends of the zucchini. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the zucchini lengthwise into ¼-inch slices. Cut each slice lengthwise into ¼-inch shoestring fries (discard any inner pieces that are very seedy, as they won’t fry as well, save for soup or other purposes). Alternatively, you could julienne the zucchini with a mandolin.

Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 365°F (185°C). The oil should fill the pot halfway or more.

Place the milk in a medium bowl. Set the flour on a large sheet of wax paper or plate. Line a half sheet pan with paper towels and set close to the frying area.

Gently dip a small handful of zucchini matchsticks into the milk. Toss the pieces in the flour until lightly coated. Drop the pieces gently into the frying oil, and using a spider or slotted spoon, gently stir and flip so they brown evenly. It will take roughly 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Avoid over-crowding the pot, you&#39;ll want to try in batches. Fry the zucchini for roughly 2-3 minutes per batch. Lift and transfer the zucchini fries to the paper towel lined baking sheet. Season immediately with salt and pepper.

Serve the hot zucchini fries with lemon wedges for squeezing.

I made it!! Must say I needed to do them thinner as picture shown, but none the less they came out cracking how zucchini should taste! my word absolutely delish! I’ve never had this dish with lemon, it really complements the zucchini! ( simple and easy!)  Thank you!!!!!!!!! 

Had these first time ever in Zizzis and although I haven’t tried this recipe I feel confident it’s the method used at Zizzis. Can one use a Spiraliser to create the frutti?

We were in France last year and had this and it was amazing! Soooo with this no travel ban my husband said ohh do you remember those zucchini fries we had.....found your recipe and now have a VERY happy hubby ❤️
