As the days get longer and the weather warms up, my excitement for zucchini season grows. I love zucchini in any and all forms; whether that’s grilled, added to soups and stews, shredded, or even served raw. But my absolute favorite way to enjoy zucchini is when it’s breaded and fried into crisp, golden-brown batons. There’s just something about the crunchy outside contrasting against the tender zucchini center that can’t be beat. Dunk them into your favorite sauce and you have the perfect summer appetizer.
This is my go-to method for making fried zucchini. It produces impossibly crisp spears that just about anyone would love. They’re perfectly golden, light, and just the thing to kick off a summer soiree….
