Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 milliliters White wine
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Cut the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick round slices and set them aside.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 4
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg and white wine. Whisk together until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. The oil should reach approximately 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Step 6
Dip each zucchini slice into the wine batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then gently shake off excess batter.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated zucchini slices into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried zucchini slices and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini slices.
Step 10
Serve the zucchini in wine dough hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli, marinara, or tzatziki.
