Ingredients
Scale
- 2 courgettes, cut into 1cm batons
- 15g grated Parmesan
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- Oil, for deep frying
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine plain flour with 2 tbsp water to form a thick batter. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Mix the courgette batons into the batter until evenly coated.
- Pour oil into a pan until it reaches about 4cm deep. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 180°C.
- Carefully lower half of the battered courgettes into the hot oil. Fry for 5-6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining courgettes.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the courgette fries before serving hot.
