I tried, but I could not wait any longer for my zucchini to grow big enough. I bought one from the local farm stand instead :) I have been craving Fried Zucchini! It’s a summer treat!
This recipe is pretty darn good! I adapted from one I found on Allrecipes.com (my go-to place for recipe searches). If you have extra zucchini you should definitely try some, get the kids involved! We like ours dipped in ranch dressing, but any kind of dip would do. If I had thought of it ahead of time, I would have made some Dill Dip to try with them!

p.s. don’t burn your tongue like I always do, and in fact did, several times :)

I love zucchini, and it’s even better when the zucchini comes right out of the garden. Thank you for sharing, I love recipes.
