Fried Zucchini Dipping Sauce Recipes

FRIED ZUCCHINI WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium or large skillet, heat 1/4-1/2 inch of oil and heat to medium. In a medium bowl place your flour and seasoning mix and blend.
• In another bowl put your buttermilk. Peel and slice thick your zucchini. Dip the zucchini in the buttermilk drain slightly, then dip both sides and roll the edges in flour mixture.
• Fry in oil until brown and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Heat your pasta or marinara sauce on stove or in microwave. Serve the zucchini with sauce and sprinkle a little parmesan over the top.

CRISPY ZUCCHINI FRIES WITH BUTTERMILK RANCH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the buttermilk ranch dipping sauce: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, chives, dill, celery salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix well. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
• For the zucchini fries: Add the flour to a shallow baking dish. In a second baking dish, lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. In a third baking dish, combine the panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; gently crush all the ingredients together with your hands--this will ensure an even coating on the zucchini.
• Lightly coat the zucchini sticks in the flour and then dip into egg mixture, coating evenly. Gently shake to remove excess egg and then generously coat the zucchini in the panko mixture. Transfer the breaded zucchini to a baking sheet.
• Fill a high-sided skillet with about 1 inch of oil--make sure the oil does not rise more than halfway up the side of the skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the zucchini sticks to the pan. Cook until light golden brown, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately remove the zucchini to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Keep warm in a 175-degree oven until ready to serve.
• Serve the zucchini fries with the dipping sauce on side.
