This preparation works better for a small group of friends than a formal dinner party or reception as the zucchini should almost be prepared at most two portions at a time for the sake of crispness. Prepare them for large groups only if you have the necessary help. The fewer strings you prepare at once the more successful they will be.

Ingredients

  • unsaturated oil of your choice for deep-frying
  • ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 6 small zucchini, cut into sticks 2 x ¼ inches

Method

Preheat 3 inches of oil to 370°F. Flour the zucchini sticks, then put them in a large strainer and shake well to discard any excess flour. Dip the frying basket into the hot oil to coat it well. Add one third of the zucchini sticks to the basket and dip into the hot oil until golden. R
