Fried Zucchini Strings image

We are getting ready to have TONS of zucchini soon, so was looking up recipes. Found this on The Pioneer Woman Cooks site and it looks SO tasty! I have not yet tried these. Someone on that site suggested giving them a light flour coating before frying, but I will try them without first. Let me know if anyone tries this before I get to it!

Steps:

  • Using a julienne peeler or mandoline, cut the zucchini into VERY thin pasta-like strips.
  • Discard the center core with the seeds.

  • Add the zucchini strands without over filling the pan.
