Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Zucchini
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 milliliters White wine
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Cut the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick round slices and set them aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg and white wine. Whisk together until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. The oil should reach approximately 350°F (175°C) for frying.

Step 6

Dip each zucchini slice into the wine batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then gently shake off excess batter.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated zucchini slices into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried zucchini slices and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini slices.

Step 10

Serve the zucchini in wine dough hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli, marinara, or tzatziki.
