Making these fried zucchini sticks is one of our favorite ways to use the ton of zucchini our garden produces each summer. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 3-inch sticks
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Whisk buttermilk and eggs together in a shallow dish. Mix flour, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt together in another shallow dish.
Step 3
Dip zucchini sticks into egg mixture; roll in bread crumbs to coat. Dip in egg mixture again; roll again in bread crumbs.
Step 4
Fry breaded zucchini sticks in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Drain on a large plate lined with paper towels.
