Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 3 quarters of a cup Cold sparkling water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Crack the egg into a separate small bowl and whisk it lightly until the yolk and white are blended.
Add the whisked egg to the dry ingredients and start mixing gently.
Gradually pour in the cold sparkling water while stirring, until the batter reaches a smooth and slightly thick consistency. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Prepare the zucchini by slicing it into even rounds or sticks, about 1/4-inch thick.
Dip each zucchini slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about an inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the battered zucchini slices in small batches, for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
Remove the fried zucchini from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
