A great way to use up the abundant zucchini in your garden. I freeze grated zucchini in 2 cup portions for winter Puffs!
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk baking mix
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- oil for frying
PREPARATION:
In a large bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, onion, and garlic. Blend in baking mix, salt and pepper.
Heat 1/2 inch of oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Drop batter by spoonfuls into hot oil, and fry until evenly brown and fluffy. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt before serving.
Editor's Note:We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
