Re: Fried Zucchini Wedges
are you freezing them first? frozen ones "look" better when deep fried
are you using a batter or crumbs?
have you tried baking them?
Zucchini Wedges
(Use your favorite cheese in place of cheddar.)
1 large onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried, crushed
3 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup biscuit/baking mix
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded regular or reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch pie plates.
In a large bowl, combine onion, garlic, oil, eggs, Parmesan cheese and parsley. Stir in zucchini, biscuit/baking mix and cheddar cheese. Divide between prepared pie plates.
Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Makes 16 servings (8 slices per pie plate).
