Deep-Fried Zucchini Spirals
690
SHORECOOK
"We have always enjoyed fried zucchini so when I saw the clever way to spiral cut them, I thought why not deep fry them like onion strings. I did and they were a hit! Sprinkle with Old Bay® to make this a perfect side dish for seafood. They can also be served as an appetizer with your favorite dip. The zucchini may be cut into chips if you do not have a spiral slicer."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl; pour into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Whisk flour and cornstarch together in another bowl; pour into a separate gallon-size resealable plastic bag.
- Place zucchini spirals into milk mixture, seal the bag, and turn to coat spirals completely. Transfer zucchini to flour mixture, seal the bag, and shake gently to coat completely. Remove spirals from flour mixture and shake gently to remove any excess flour.
- Working in batches, cook zucchini spirals in the preheated oil until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle seafood season over cooked zucchini spirals.

We have a medium-sized Fry Daddy, big enough for the two of us. We learned not to crowd the zucchini spirals or they'll clump together. No need to tweak, this recipe is spot on with the ingredie...

Fantastic treat---I'm doing the "low carb" thing, so used more cornstarch than flour and it came out great. We made one batch with Indian spices (garam masala, cumin, turmeric) in the flour mix...

This recipe is a keeper. I added a little salt, pepper and paprika to the flour and cornstarch instead of seasoning after frying. It came out great.

I used squash and zucchini cut into slices. They tasted great although I would like them to brown better. I deep fried them and I would like to have a liquid breading recipe for deep frying.
