Categories     Vegetables

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup(s) plain cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 to 3 medium yellow squash and/or zucchini squash
1 1/2 to 2 cup(s) vegetable oil
- extra salt for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours before serving time, in a plastic food storage bag, shake together cornmeal and salt; set aside.
  • Wash & dry squash; cut off stem & blossom ends; slice into rounds that are approximately 1/8 inch thick.
  • Drop squash slices into the bag with the cornmeal; seal bag & shake vigorously; set aside for at least an hour, shaking gently every 10 to 15 minutes. (This is necessary because the squash will exude some of it's juice, and the juice helps the cornmeal to stick to the squash.)
  • Place several layers of paper towels on a 1 1/2 foot length of aluminum foil or heat-resistant plate/platter; set next to stove.
  • After the squash has been in the cornmeal for an hour or two, pour oil into large skillet.
  • Heat oil on stovetop over medium-high heat.
  • Working in batches (usually 3,) add a single layer of cornmeal-coated squash slices quickly, one at a time, to cover bottom of skillet.
  • Fry squash, turning frequently, until light golden brown on both sides (I use tongs or a fork for turning.) You may need to lower heat slightly toward the end of the first batch.
  • Remove to paper towels as desired browning is achieved. Continue adding squash to hot oil, as space permits.
  • Taste-test one of the fried squash slices to determine if it needs a sprinkle of salt. Season as desired. Serve immediately.
  • Any leftover cornmeal mixture may be stored in refrigerator for the next time you fry squash, okra etc...

EASY DEEP FRIED SUMMER SQUASH | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Easy Deep Fried Summer Squash | Just A Pinch Recipes image

For as long as I can remember my family has loved fried summer squash. Over the years, I have either pan fried them or deep fried them, but I think the results are so much better when it's deep fried. They come out so crispy and delicious and this recipe is so easy to do. Hope you enjoy it.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 or 4 medium yellow summer squash
1 1/2 cup(s) milk
1 large egg
3/4 cup(s) flour (preferably self rising, but all purpose will work)
3/4 cup(s) corn meal (preferably self rising, but plain will work)
- oil for frying
- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Wash the squash and slice off the ends and discard. Slice squash into thin slices, about 1/8" thick. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine egg and milk, mixing thoroughly with fork. In another shallow bowl or plate, combine flour and corn meal.
  • Dip squash in milk mixture and then roll in flour mixture, coating both sides.
  • Drop into hot oil (375 degrees) into a deep fryer. Fry for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to let the grease drain. Do not drain on paper towels or the squash will become soggy.
  • After a few minutes, transfer to a serving dish and salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
  • Note: You may increase or decrease flour and meal as necessary.
