Fried Zucchini

My In-Law's zucchini plant is the gift that keeps on giving! So when I received another batch of it, I decided to make fried zucchini! The zucchini chips at Harrigans are one of our favorite appetizers and inspired this recipe. It was easy and a delicious treat to have while we watched the Rangers win the ALCS!!!! Two years in a row, hopefully the World Series is next! Enjoy!!

 Thinly Slice your zucchini, I sliced mine on the mandoline (pictured above)
Once you have your slices, lay them out and cover with paper towel or dish towel to help soak up additional moisture for approx 10 minutes.
 While the zucchini is drying, preheat your oil about 1 inch in the pan. The trick below is if you stick a wooden spoon in the oil and bubbles form around the bottom, its ready!
 In two dishes, place egg replacer (or one egg) and in the other, 2c corn meal with 1/2tbs season salt mixed together. Dip zucchini in egg then coat in cornmeal. Now you are ready to fry!
 Fry for approx 15 seconds flipping often until lightly golden!
 And serve with your favorite dipping sauce (ranch, ketchup, etc!) Enjoy!
