Equipment

  • Kitchen Knife Set: Essential for safely and efficiently cutting zucchini into fry shapes.

  • Mixing Bowls: Useful for mixing the batter and preparing the dipping sauce ingredients.

  • Baking Sheet with Silicone Mat: Ideal for baking zucchini fries evenly without sticking.

  • Cutting Board: Provides a stable surface to safely cut vegetables.

  • Hand Mixer: Useful for quickly mixing batter and sauce components.

  • Deep Fry Thermometer: Ensures oil temperature is consistent, resulting in perfectly cooked fries.

  • Oven Mitts: Essential for handling hot baking sheets without burning yourself.

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons: Accurate measurements are key to perfecting the recipe ratios.

  • Parchment Paper Sheets: Helps in easily transferring fries onto a baking sheet and prevents sticking.

  • Food Processor (Optional): Can be used for quickly grating zucchini if desired, though hand slicing is recommended by the recipe.

  • Microwave Safe Container: Useful for reheating fries or warming up the dipping sauce without using additional energy.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ripe tomatoes, peeled, cored, and diced

  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot or onion

  • 2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 cup unseasoned bread crumbs

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 3 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 2-inch-long and 1/4-inch-thick pieces (peel first, if desired, and avoid round pattypan squash — the shape does not lend itself to fries)
