Excellent recipe! I changed the proportions to 2C. Zucchini and 2C. Onions and added alot of garlic - just because we love it. We couldn't stop eating them - and neither could our meat-eating friends!

This recipe is pretty fabulous. I added grated carrots and diced red onions to the batter and it was really flavorful. Serve with ketchup or hot sauce.

What a great way to use up some of that abundant Zucchini. Thanks for the great recipe. Made exactly as directed, with the exception of cutting the recipe in half. This is a very easy recipe to adjust to a smaller or larger serving.

I love fried zucchini! I made these tonight for dinner.....my family loved them...yum! I never thought of doing it this way and it produces the same taste. I did add 2 level teaspoons of mayo to the batter and 1/2 tsp. baking powder. Your way really eliminates alot of mess plus it beats slicing them in rounds, dipping in egg, and flouring them in a ziplock and throwing them in the skillet and eating so much breading....No more of that which I have always followed my mother and grandmother - both raised in Tennessee. Thank you so much for sharing!
