Uncle Bill's Deep Fried Zucchini Strips

Step 1

Wash and trim zucchini, (DO NOT PEEL).

Step 2

Cut zucchini into about 2 1/2" long by 1/2" thick strips.

Step 3

In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat eggs and milk until fluffy.

Step 4

In a plastic bag, add flour, seasoning salt and shake well.

Step 5

In a separate plastic bag, add finely crushed saltine crackers.

Step 6

Dip zucchini strips in egg mixture.

Step 7

Drop into flour mixture and shake well to coat.

Step 8

Dip again into egg mixture.

Step 9

Drop into crushed crackers and shake well to coat.

Step 10

Heat olive oil to 325 F to 350 F in a medium-size frying pan or use a deep fryer.

Step 11

Drop coated zucchini (a few at a time) in the hot oil and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes, turning once, (DO NOT OVERCOOK).

Step 12

Zucchini should be crunchy.

Step 13

Serve immediately with Bearnaise Sauce as a dip.

Step 14

SAUCE FOR DIPPING: Prepare contents of Bearnaise sauce according to package directions or make your own.

Step 15

NOTE: Instead of using plastic bags, place the flour mixture in a mixing bowl, and the crumbs in a separate bowl. This will not be quite as messy.

Step 16

Also, Panko crumbs would be excellent or cornflake crumbs.
