Fried squash is a delicious dish typically made by coating sliced summer squash, such as yellow squash or zucchini, in a seasoned batter or cornmeal and frying it in oil until golden brown and crispy. This Southern-inspired comfort food is a popular side dish in American cuisine, especially in regions with a strong agricultural tradition. Squash itself is a low-calorie vegetable rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, promoting overall health and supporting immune function. However, the frying process adds calories and fat, making it less healthy compared to steamed or roasted preparations. Choosing heart-healthy oils and lighter breading can make this dish more nutritious while preserving its satisfying crunch. Fried squash offers a balance of crispy indulgence and wholesome vegetable goodness, making it a versatile option for gatherings or family meals.
