Very bland. Although the better was a great consistency and had good crunch it just definitely needed A LOT more seasoning. I did think it was fun though frying things like carrots and bell peppers (which I used red). I used a light beer but next time I will use a dark (hoping for more flavor) and definitely some garlic powder and cayenne in with the flour mixture.

A couple of problems - 1st the recipe does not state 2 cups flour - divided. I almost added all the flour with the beer - instead of 1 1/2 cups. In previous reviews people complained about the batter being too thick - this might be the problem. 2nd problem - No seasoning! No Salt, No Pepper! Nothing! and it tastes like it - Nothing! So why 3 stars? It has great potential - add your seasonings to taste and make sure your oil is 350 -375 - it takes a while brown - that is the nature of the beast. I am glad I made this - it needed a picture - but I think I won't give up my old method. Thank you for sharing.

A little bland and runny, but could be better with added spices and refrigeration.

My roomate and I made this recipe and loved it! You just have to give it time to cook! The zucchini was brown and crispy and very tastey!

I used this recipe to fry long pieces of zucchini. It worked very well. I made one modification: after tasting the first piece I fried, I added salt to the batter.

This looked and tasted not to our liking and made a HUGE mess. It wouldn't get brown, it looked uncooked, not enough salt, and there was just too much crust on the vegetables. It was 90% crust, 10% vegetable it seemed like. A simple cornmeal batter is much better. (I used a deep fryer, if that changes anything.)

I used this recipe for the batter portion of the recipe and thought is was fabulous. Makes A LOT of batter. I chose thawed and drained frozen butternut squash.
