Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice them into thin strips—about ¼ inch thick.
- Combine the dry ingredients for the funnel cake batter—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Mix your wet ingredients—eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Pour this into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F.
- Dip each zucchini strip into the funnel cake batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Fry the battered zucchini in the hot oil for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Dust with powdered sugar while still warm for a sweet finish.
Notes
These fries are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven if making a larger batch. Try serving with chocolate sauce or whipped cream for dipping!
