Fried Zucchini

Nick was in charge of dinner tonight.  He always comes up with really neat ideas.  We weren't hungry since we had a big, late lunch.  We wanted beer and munchy type food.  His idea: fried zucchini in a beer batter.  I was  skeptical...until I tried my first bite.  It was SO good!!!  And we were stuffed.  Partly because of how much zucchini it made (see picture below of how big this zucchini from my parents garden was).

Ingredients:
4-5 Regular zucchini's (or one of my parents garden ones LOL)
2 Cups flour
1 Bottle beer (we used a miller lite)
2 Tbsps pepper
2 Tbsps garlic salt
2 Eggs

Directions:
*Mix the flour, beer, pepper, garlic salt, and eggs in a large bowl.

*Cut the zucchini's lengthwise into 4 long slices each (cut off the ends of course).

*Put 4-5 pieces of zucchini into the batter.

*Heat the oil on medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes.  If you drop one single droplet of water into the oil it will sizzle/pop when ready.

*Put the 4-5 pieces of zucchini into the oil and cook until lightly browned.  It will take 4-5 minutes for this to happen.

*Remove the zucchini with tongs and place on a place that has a couple of pieces of paper towels lined on it.

*Do the rest of the zucchini the same way.

*Be careful of how hot they are.  They will stay super hot for quite a while after too!

*Serve with ranch, ketchup, or any other sauce you might like.  These were SO SO SO good!  Perfect appetizer if you have friends over!

And now...me being silly with one of them... And to show just how HUGE it was!
