Zucchini Sticks DIRECTIONS:
- In a heavy saucepan or deep fryer, preheat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a blender, mix the eggs, whipped cream, pepper and salt. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
- Slice the zucchini into pieces 2 to 3 inches long. Dip the pieces into the egg mixture, then coat them with the bread crumbs.
- Carefully place the battered pieces in the oil and fry 3 to 4 minutes, until brown and crispy. Drain fried pieces on a paper towel. Repeat until all the slices have been fried.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
