Greek Style Zucchini Chips: A Crispy & Delicious Appetizer



These fried Zucchini Chips are commonly served as an appetizer in Greek taverns across the globe. Follow my easy recipe to make these crunchy chips at home.

Printable Recipe: https://www.dimitrasdishes.com/greek-fried-zucchini-chips/

Ingredients
3 zucchinis
1 cup (150 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (150 g) finely ground semolina flour
Salt to taste
Dried oregano to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Bowl with cold water
Optional seasonings: sumac, granulated garlic, herbs
Serving Sauces:
• Tzatziki
• Shawarma Sauce
• Marinara Sauce
Instructions
Slice the zucchini into 3mm slices or into sticks.
Sprinkle some salt on top. The same amount that you would sprinkle on fried eggs. Set aside while you make the flour coating. Also, pour the oil into a deep frying pan and heat to 375 °F.
In a shallow baking pan combine the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and a teaspoon of salt. Mix together to combine.
The zucchini will have released some moisture, and this will help the flour mixture stick to them so, do not pat them dry.
Toss the zucchini in the flour mixture.
Quickly dip each zucchini slice/stick into the water and shake off the excess then, carefully drop into the oil. Do not crowd the pan or the oil’s temperature will drop and the chips will become soggy.
Fry until golden all around.
Using a slotted spoon or a frying spider, lift the zucchini out and allow the excess oil to drain back into the pan.
Place the chips onto a tray that has been lined with paper towels and season with salt, oregano, and sumac or your choice of seasonings.
Serve immediately with your favorite sauces/dips. Enjoy

    So good to see you making these. Every year for the last 13 years we have gone to Hydra in summer. No Hydra this year because of Covid so I’m really doubling down on the Greek food at home. These have an honoured place. Thank you.

    Would you use this dip in the water technique for say fried chicken?

    another safer way to cut the zucchini and other veggies is to use a food processor. most have an attachement that you can add to the top and then you push your veggies through the blade. i tried this method to slice plantains to make plantain chips and it works wonderfully and no fear of cutting your finger!

    Hello, i am from Turkey Sakarya city. We dip zucchini and many vegetables in corn flour and salt and fry them in a pan. This is my first time seeing this method. I'll try, I subscribed to your page.

    I will dislike the video if I could, unfortunately you tube disabling the dislikes.
    The reason l dislike because of advertising for AMAZON
