SOUTHERN DEEP FRIED SQUASH

 


This fried squash is a summer favorite at my house. I make it often, and my family always requests it.

I dip mine in ranch made with Hidden Valley or Walmart mix using mayonnaise and milk. Since I use ranch, I keep the seasoning simple. If you skip the dip, add your favorite seasoning to the breading.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Seasonings of choice (steak or chicken seasoning, Mrs. Dash, powdered Parmesan, or ranch seasoning)
  • 1 egg
  • ½–1 cup milk
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • Sliced yellow squash (around 3 medium)
  • Oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and your desired seasonings. Dredge the sliced squash in the flour mixture until well coated.

  2. In a second bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until smooth. Dip the floured squash slices into the egg mixture.

  3. Place the bread crumbs in a third bowl. Coat the squash in the bread crumbs until fully covered.

  4. Fry the squash in hot oil, working in batches, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
