If you’re looking for a simple recipe for Fried Squash:
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow squash, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or cornmeal for a crispier coating)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Wash and slice the squash.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the squash slices evenly in the flour mixture.
- Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the squash in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot.
Optional additions: garlic powder, paprika, grated Parmesan, or a side of ranch dipping sauce.
If you’d like, I can also provide a Southern-style, air-fryer, or gluten-free version.
