Zucchini Fries

I hope everyone is having a great week so far. If you are like myself, my time during the week is very hectic and dinners are usually thrown together. This next recipe is super quick, very easy, and a true treat. Another recipe very fitting of the comfort food them developing on the blog!

Tonight, I made Zucchini Fries. These are simply sliced, breaded, and fried zucchini which make for a great appetizer (in my case, these were my dinner).

I apologize in advance for the photos below - my camera was not happy with me tonight... The brightness in the corners is not an intentional effect...

As always, let me go through the recipe and break it down for you.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 10-15 Minutes

4 Fresh Zucchini
1 1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese
1 1/2 cups Seasoned Breadcrumbs (can be swapped for Panko)
2 Large Eggs
Vegetable Oil for frying (can be swapped for Olive Oil)

1. Start by preheating your oil - I used a pot but a Frydaddy would be great as well. Next, you will want to slice your Zucchini. There is no exact science here but try to slice the zucchini into 3-4 inch strips and about 1/2 inch thick on each side. Finally, prep your workstation - crack the eggs and wisk in a bowl, mix your breadcrumb and parmesan in another bowl, and place another plate out with a papertowel covering it (this is where the completed fries will go).

2. Take the zucchini slices and dip them into the egg. After fully coated, transfer to the bowl of breadcrumbs and cover generously.

3. Next, drop the breadcrumb covered zucchini slices into your fryer and cook until golden brown.

4. Remove the zucchini from the fryer and allow the fries to cool on your papertowel plate which will help absorb any extra oil.

And that is all there is to it. I actually heated up a small side of marinara sauce for dipping but this is very optional. I hope you enjoy trying this recipe. Let me know what you think. Another new recipe to follow soon. Enjoy the rest of your week!
