Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix the non-dairy milk with the lemon juice. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to curdle slightly, creating a dairy-free buttermilk.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Dip each zucchini slice into the non-dairy milk mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the flour mixture.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, place zucchini slices in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Cook each slice for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the zucchini slices from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried zucchini slices warm, with your favorite dipping sauce.
