Crispy Fried Zucchini Sticks: An Easy Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 3-inch sticks

Instructions

1. Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for frying.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs. In another shallow bowl, combine flour, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt.
3. Dredge each zucchini stick in the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the bread crumb mixture. For extra crispiness, repeat the dipping and coating process.
4. Carefully lower the breaded zucchini sticks into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and serve immediately.
