CUCUMBER FRENCH FRIES | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



CUCUMBER FRENCH FRIES | Just A Pinch Recipes image

I created this recipe because I had too many cucumbers on hand and wanted something different. They taste very similar to fried zucchini sticks, but with a refreshing, tart zip. If you like deep fried pickles or fried green tomatoes, you'll enjoy this recipe. Experiment with the breading and make it your own.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 or 3 - medium cucumbers
1/2 cup(s) sunflower or other frying oil

BREADING:
1/2 cup(s) cornmeal
1/4 cup(s) panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup(s) italian bread crumbs
1 dash(es) salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in skillet to medium high heat, or 350 degrees in electric skillet.
  • Peel cucumbers, slice off ends, then cut lengthwise in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds like you're carving a boat. Then slice each cucumber half into french fry-sized strips.
