Sharon Halpers Fried Zucchini Recipes

SHARON HALPER'S FRIED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the salt, olive oil, egg yolks, nutmeg, wine and water, one ingredient at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir until the batter is smooth. Cover and let stand in a cool place for 2 hours.
• Fill a heavy pot or deep fryer with 2 inches of vegetable oil. Place over high heat and heat to 360 degrees using a deep-fat thermometer.
• While the oil is heating, place the egg whites in a small bowl and beat them until they are stiff but not dry. Fold the whites into the batter.
• Working in batches, dip the zucchini sticks into the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry the sticks, turning them occasionally, until they are golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them from the fat and drain on double-layered paper towels. Continue until all the zucchini is fried.
• Transfer the zucchini to a serving plate covered with a paper towel and sprinkle them with coarse salt. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.

AIR FRYER ZUCCHINI PARMESAN

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add zucchini rounds and toss to coat.
• Place zucchini in the basket of the air fryer in one layer and cook for 5 minutes. Flip zucchini over, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top, and cook until cheese is melted and starting to brown, about 5 more minutes.
