Ingredients
- 2 medium courgettes
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1.25 cups sparkling water
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the courgettes and cut them into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the sparkling water into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter is formed. The consistency should be like pancake batter, slightly thick but pourable.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Dip each courgette slice into the batter, letting excess drip off, then coat it with gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 7
Carefully place a few slices at a time into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Fry the courgette slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden and crispy.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried courgettes from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately while hot and crispy, optionally with a dipping sauce of choice.
