Fried Zucchini with Aioli dipping sauce

Try this recipe soon! So yummy and so easy to make!

I made the aioli sauce first. It needs to sit for awhile so the flavors can merry together. I also added fresh garlic to my dip. It doesn't call for it but I LOVE lemon and garlic together so I could resist. I used two cloves.

I used my mandolin and made little chips, but next time I will cut lengh wise.

My husband couldn't stop eating these.

• 3 medium zucchini – washed, stems removed, sliced lengthwise into thin pieces.

• Panko Bread crumbs for breading – poured into a shallow 9×9 dish.

Batter:
• 1 ½ cups club soda
• ¾ cups plain flour
• ½ cups corn starch
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon course ground pepper

Mix soda, flour, starch, salt, onion powder, and pepper together and pour into a shallow 9×9 dish. Dip zucchini strips into batter. Then dip the strips into the Panko bread crumbs, coating each side. Place battered strips onto paper towels.

In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil 1” deep. Heat oil over medium high flame. Add battered zucchini and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on bottom side, turn zucchini and repeat. Drain on layers of paper towels. Shake Parmesan Cheese over fired zucchini right before serving.  Serve hot with Lemon Aioli dipping sauce.
