FRIED ZUCCHINI SPIRALS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut zucchini into spirals using a spiralizer fitted with the large shredding blade.
• Place egg in a shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a large resealable plastic bag. Dip 1/2 of the spiralized zucchini in the beaten egg and then place in the bag to coat with bread crumb mixture.
• Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Arrange breaded zucchini fries in the prepared basket, making sure to not overcrowd. Spray the tops with cooking spray.
• Cook until crispy, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cook time. Transfer fries to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat breading and cooking process with remaining zucchini spirals.

Steps:

• Wash and trim zucchini, (DO NOT PEEL).
• Cut zucchini into about 2 1/2" long by 1/2" thick strips.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat eggs and milk until fluffy.
• In a plastic bag, add flour, seasoning salt and shake well.
• In a separate plastic bag, add finely crushed saltine crackers.
• Dip zucchini strips in egg mixture.
• Drop into flour mixture and shake well to coat.
• Dip again into egg mixture.
• Drop into crushed crackers and shake well to coat.
• Heat olive oil to 325 F to 350 F in a medium-size frying pan or use a deep fryer.
• 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).
• Zucchini should be crunchy.
• Serve immediately with Bearnaise Sauce as a dip.
• SAUCE FOR DIPPING: Prepare contents of Bearnaise sauce according to package directions or make your own.
• 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.
• Also, Panko crumbs would be excellent or cornflake crumbs.
