INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 zucchini, quartered and sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced into rings
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place zucchini and onions in a medium bowl and mix together.
  2. In a small bowl mix flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  3. Pour dry mixture over zucchini/onion mixture, cover bowl and shake well. Let mixture sit for about 30 minutes; a batter will form on the vegetables.
  4. In a medium skillet heat oil over medium heat. When oil is hot add breaded vegetables and fry, turning to brown evenly.
