"These flavorful fries are the first thing we make when the zucchini in our garden is ready," relates Debbie Brunssen of Randolph, Nebraska. "I fry several batches because our family of eight loves these crispy golden wedges." You will, too, at just 71¢ per serving.

Ingredients

Directions

Cut zucchini in half widthwise, then cut each half lengthwise into eight wedges; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, onion salt, oregano and garlic powder. Combine the egg, milk and oil; stir into the dry ingredients just until blended. Dip zucchini wedges in batter, then roll in crushed cereal.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry zucchini wedges, a few at a time, for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.

These zucchini fries are very tasty! My family likes to dip them in ranch dressing. I have made this tecipe many times over the years. It was first printed in the Taste of Home Quick Cooking magazine.

These weren't too bad. Able to get my non-zucchini loving family to eat them. I needed way more chex mix than the recipe called for. I think I'll try another zucchini fry recipe next time.
