Batter-Fried Zucchini Sticks

This is a take-off from a steak restaurant's appetizers we enjoyed many years ago.


Heat oil to about 375°F. Should be about 2" deep.

Wash, trim ends, and cut zucchini into quarters lengthwise. Cut sticks about 3" long. Let sit on paper towel.

Put some flour in a bowl. (I use a cereal bowl.)

Mix together in bowl:
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Beat together:
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp. oil

Slowly add liquid to dry. Beat until smooth.

When oil is hot, roll zucchini stick in flour, then  dip in batter. Carefully drop in hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes. You may need to roll the zucchini to brown both sides. Drain on paper towels. Good plain or with salt, seasoning salt, or Ranch dip.
