But, since the first non-greenhouse harvests are already appearing in most of our country, I think it’s time to pay attention to other seasonal vegetables.
Therefore, today’s selection completes the cycle of zucchini articles. And to make this ending bright, I offer you a selection of delicious and aromatic zucchini in batter with garlic.
This is an excellent snack for both everyday cooking and special occasions. Because it is not only very tasty, but also very elegant.
As you can see, the batter can be prepared in completely different ways, so I’m sure everyone will find their own recipe.
Zucchini in batter in a frying pan with garlic, cheese and egg
I'll start with my favorite recipe. After all, what could be better than a combination of cheese and garlic? Probably just cheese, garlic and sour cream.
Ingredients:
- Zucchini - 1 piece
- Egg - 2 pcs
- Sour cream - 3-4 tbsp. l.
- Garlic - 2-3 cloves
- Salt - 1 tsp. for zucchini and a pinch for batter
- Pepper - a pinch
- Hard cheese – 50 g
- Flour (or potato starch) - 3-5 tbsp. l.
- Vegetable oil - for frying
Preparation:
1. If necessary, peel the zucchini (if it is very hard), cut it into rings about 1 centimeter thick and place in a colander. Add a teaspoon of salt, a pinch of pepper, mix and leave for 10-15 minutes so that the vegetables release their juice.
2. While the vegetables are settling, prepare the batter by whisking eggs, sour cream, salt, chopped garlic and flour in one bowl.
Add enough flour to obtain the consistency of pancake batter: thick but still fluid.
3. Add grated cheese to the prepared batter and mix.
4. Now take the zucchini rings, roll them first in flour, and then in batter. Pre-dipping the rings in flour allows the batter to better adhere to them and not slide off.
5. Place the zucchini in a heated frying pan with vegetable oil and fry over medium heat on both sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
There should be enough oil so that it reaches the middle of the thickness of the rings.
6. Place the finished circles on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Zucchini in cheese batter is ready. Bon appetit!

That's all. Bon appetit!
Recipe for zucchini in a frying pan in kefir batter
When mixing the batter, it is not necessary to use sour cream. Kefir and even natural yogurt are perfect.

But there is a difference: you need to add crushed garlic along with salt and, after mixing everything together, leave the zucchini to marinate for 20 minutes so that they are saturated with the garlic aroma.
Prepare the batter by mixing kefir, eggs and flour in one bowl. Add flour in portions, and not all at once, in order to gradually achieve the consistency of thick sour cream.
2. When the zucchini have settled, roll them in flour, then dip them in batter and place in a heated frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil.
3. Fry over medium heat on both sides for a couple of minutes until golden brown.

Then place them on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

So how? Got an appetite? I have - yes, I'll go heat up the frying pan.
So that's all for today, thank you for your attention.
For this summer appetizer - fried zucchini in batter - any variety of zucchini is suitable: the most ordinary, tender yellow or zucchini. Wash the young zucchini under cold water, cut off the ends on both sides and cut into slices. I usually don’t peel the skin, but if you think it’s tough, cut it off.
Now you need to salt the chopped zucchini. I usually put the circles in a bowl in layers: zucchini - salt, zucchini again - salt again. It seems to me that raw zucchini simply cannot be over-salted, so I always salt it “by eye.” Set the zucchini aside while we prepare the batter.
Batter, of course, can be very different. If you want something crispy, cook it with beer. I have, one might say, a standard version.
I mix the eggs and sour cream in a bowl, beat it a little with a fork, absolutely symbolically. Add salt, a mixture of peppers (You can use any spices to your taste, for example, I like to add utskho-suneli).
In my opinion, the batter benefits greatly if finely chopped greens are added. This time I used dill and parsley - the simplest set that I usually always have in my refrigerator.
And finally, add flour and mix the whole batter. It should come out with a consistency similar to thick sour cream, so regulate the amount of flour needed (besides, how much flour to take will also depend on the thickness of the sour cream). Any components of the batter can be easily changed, for example, instead of sour cream you can take milk (but then significantly more flour) or mayonnaise.
Now it’s time to drain the released liquid from the zucchini and roll the circles in flour. This stage, in principle, can be skipped, but according to my observations, if you roll the zucchini in flour first, then the batter sticks to it much better and does not slide off the zucchini circle.
If you don’t care about “dirty work,” then roll each zucchini separately, but I place them in a small food container, pour a little flour into it (the amount is not indicated in the list of ingredients), close the container with a lid and shake vigorously. As a result: your hands are clean, all the zucchini is covered in flour.
All that remains is to dip each slice of zucchini in the batter and fry, as usual, on both sides in vegetable oil. I usually fry without a lid and on fairly high heat. But I do this because I like the zucchini inside the finished batter to remain a little al dente. If you like softer vegetables, then cover the pan with a lid when frying or simply fry over low heat.
The result is a very bright, tasty, truly summer dish - fried zucchini in batter!
It’s difficult to spoil them, but with culinary inspiration you can cook anything from them! I’m taking advantage of the moment while all the vegetables are tasty, young and juicy, because in winter this will no longer be the case. This time we will cook fried zucchini in batter in a frying pan. It turns out to be a kind of homemade fast food! Only it has more benefits, because it’s not sausage in dough, but low-calorie zucchini! Such zucchini can be served as a meal on its own, as a snack, or as a side dish for cutlets or fish. And if you prepare some hot sauce for them, it will be an excellent snack for beer. And, of course, you can take this fast food with you on the road, to work or on a picnic; While waiting for the kebabs, the kids will simply steal them!
Ingredients:
- young zucchini - 1 pc.
- yogurt - 3 tbsp. spoons.
- egg - 1 piece.
- flour - 4 tbsp. spoons with top.
- garlic - 2 cloves.
- hops-suneli - 1 teaspoon.
- baking powder for dough - 1 teaspoon.
- salt, pepper - to taste.
- flour for sprinkling - 1 tbsp. spoon.
- vegetable oil - for frying.
How to cook zucchini in batter:
1. Wash a small zucchini, cut off the ends and cut in half, and then each half lengthwise. Cut each piece into thin small slices. We don't add salt! Otherwise, the salt will begin to draw juice out of the zucchini, they will become watery and it will be difficult to coat with dough. It will not stick, and if it does, it may fall off during the frying process.
2. Now prepare the batter from the listed products. Instead of yogurt, kefir, sour cream or yogurt are perfect. I indicated the approximate amount of flour, it all depends on the products. I have fairly thick yogurt and need less flour than kefir. For aroma and taste, I added garlic through a press and hop-suneli seasoning to the batter. Any seasoning can be used, even dry dill, lemon zest or simple black pepper.
3. The thickness of the batter should be thicker than for pancakes, approximately the same as for. Do not make the dough too thin, otherwise it will “slip” from the zucchini and the appearance of the dish will not be beautiful.
4. Let’s heat up a frying pan with oil. Take a plate and pour flour into it. Even though we didn’t salt the zucchini, it’s still a watery vegetable. Therefore, to make the batter stick better, thoroughly roll the zucchini slices in flour and shake off the excess.
And then immediately dip it into the dough and quickly send it to fry in a heated frying pan on both sides.
5. It is better to fry such zucchini in batter in a moderately heated frying pan. After all, the zucchini should be fried until soft, and the dough should not burn. A thick-walled (cast iron) frying pan is very suitable for this; it holds heat well and does not allow the product to burn.
6. Zucchini in batter is ready! Serve to the table piping hot. These zucchini are very good until they have cooled down, the dough is fried, crispy and aromatic, and inside there is a soft and juicy zucchini filling. When they cool down, they will be no less tasty, but the dough will no longer be crunchy.
Bon appetit!!!
