Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Carrot sticks
- 1 cup Zucchini slices
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini thoroughly, and dry them with a clean towel.
Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
Prepare three separate bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs with milk until well blended. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each vegetable piece first in the flour, coating it completely. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured vegetable into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated but allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the vegetable in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs evenly. Set aside on a plate and repeat with all the vegetables.
In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Fry the breaded veggies in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried veggies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the fried breaded veggies immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, marinara, or spicy aioli.
