This is a fun my version of french fries. They are a bit lighter with a spicy tempura batter, but still has a light crunch, easy and a great flavor. I love to serve these with burgers and grilled sandwiches as an alternative to starchy fries. It is also a great way to get kids to eat vegetables. Ingredients:
3 large zucchini, peeled, seeded and cut into thick french fry size sticks |
1 egg, beaten |
1 cup very cold water |
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted |
1 pinch chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne |
1 pinch salt |
marinara sauce, for dipping |
1 cup vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Now first off I love to serve this with a creamy parmesan dipping sauce which you can make your own, but normally I don't even use a sauce. These are light and spicy as is.
2. Mix all the ingredients to make a nice tempura batter. In a large pan heat up the oil. Then dip the zucchini and then fry until golden brown. Don't add too many at one time. They come out crispy and brown.
3. I like to use a simple marinara as a dipping sauce - reminds me of fries with ketchup. It is really a great simple side dish.
