They sort of look like croutons...
I had the brilliant idea to deep-fry some tofu one day. Possibly threw the health factor out the window, but no matter...
I actually began by frying up some zucchini sticks. Mixing some oregano and basil in with some flour before smothering some salted zucchini in the mixture. I was sort of unclear as to how much water to extract from the zucchini. A recipe I'd briefly perused just said to squeeze it out (the salt draws it out). So I quite possibly had too-soggy squash to start with. But it was still darn tasty!
I fried them in canola oil and then moved on to some tofu cubes I had been marinating. One batch in apple cider vinegar and the other in tamari. I used the same flour mixture from the zucchini for both tofus.
This one another one of my culinary experiments so I really don't have any times or amounts to share. I just fried them until they looked "done."
They were all pretty darn tasty! I sat on my floor with a plate of the zucchini and AC cubes alternately popping them in my mouth. The tamari ones were used in another recipe.
