Fried Squash and/or Zucchini
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Fried zucchini is a Southern delicacy, but not all fried zucchini recipes are created equal. This one is delicious. Salting and sweating the zucchini before frying pulls most of the extra moisture from the zucchini or yellow squash. That step makes the crust stick much better. These fried zucchini chips are perfectly seasoned and, once fried, have a nice crunchy crust. These are best served hot.
