Fried zucchini rounds are almost as good as fried zucchini blossoms 🙂 The batter I make with flour and cold sparkling water gives the fried zucchini a very light and crispy coating almost like tempura.
prep time 15 min cooking time 10 min total
ingredients
- 1-2 zucchini
- 3-5dl peanut oil
- 1dl flour
- 2 dl COLD sparkling water/mineral water
- pinch of salt
Disclaimer: the quantities are very approximative.
1. Wash and cut the zucchini into thin even slices with a mandoline slicer or a knife and pat them dry.
2. Heat the oil in a heavy bottom pot or pan over medium high until the oil is hot but not smoking.
3. In the meantime make the batter: Take the water out of the fridge just before using it. Blend the batter to the consistency of a heavy cream. Add a pinch of salt.
4. Dip or soak the zucchini rounds in the batter and fry them in batches for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain on paper towels or better yet on brown paper sheets for fried food, season with salt and serve hot.
BUON APPETITO!
