Ingredients

1 large zucchini, washed, trimmed, cut lengthwise into strips 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick

olive oil for frying

1/2 tablespoon of salt

----------

For batter:

8 ounces of bottled soda water

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour

Directions

Prepare zucchini: Cut zucchini slices in half if they are long. Slices measuring about 3 inches long work best.

Put slices in a bowl, salt, and let sit 20 minutes. Pour off liquid before putting in batter.

Make the batter: Pour the soda into a bowl, and stir in flour and salt slowly, using a whisk or fork to mix.

Fry: Bring oil to high heat. Coat zucchini in the batter, use a fork to place pieces in oil and fry 5-6 minutes, until golden on both sides and batter puffs up. Drain on absorbent paper toweling just long enough to remove excess oil.

Serve hot.

The key to great crispy zucchini is to slice thinly and fry at high heat so the zucchini has time to cook but not absorb a lot of oil. Use a cheese slicer, mandoline, or long-bladed knife to get uniformly thin slices.
