Zucchini Slivers

Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini, medium-sized
  • 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • corn oil or canola oil, for frying
  • sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the ends off the zucchini and discard. Slice the zucchini into the finest slivers you can by first cutting the zucchini into long, thin slices and then cutting the slices into long, thin slivers. Set aside.
  2. In a large frying pan, pour in enough oil to come about an inch up the side of the pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  3. While the oil is heating, place the flour in a large bowl and in several batches, dredge the zucchini slivers in the oil. Once dredged, shake off the excess flour and place the slivers in a plate.
  4. Once the oil is hot, fry the slivers in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan. The slivers will fry for about 4 to 5 minutes, at which time they should be golden. Using tongs, turn the slivers so that they become golden and crunchy on all sides.
  5. Once golden, remove the zucchini slivers to a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with sea salt right away.
  6. Serve the zucchini while hot.
