Do yourself a favour and add these courgette fries to your weekly snack rotation. Light, crispy, and with just the right amount of spice from Original Hot Sauce.
Ingredients
-
2 courgettes cut into fries
-
100g plain flour
-
100g cornflour
-
200ml sparkling water
-
Salt, to taste
-
Vegetable oil, to fry
-
Fresh coriander, chopped
-
2tsp Original Hot Sauce
-
Chipotle and Lime Aioli, for dipping
Directions
- Firstly, heat your oil to at least 180°C. Cooler oil can result in soggy fries with a limp batter, so use a thermometer if needed.
- Slice your courgettes into chip-sized sticks before making the batter. You'll want them ready to go as soon as the batter is mixed.
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, cornflour, a pinch of salt, and Original Hot Sauce.
- Gradually add chilled sparkling water and whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. If your sparkling water isn’t cold enough, put it in the freezer until ready to add to the batter.
- Dip a few courgette pieces into the batter, then carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to prevent overcrowding.
Fry each batch for 3-4 minutes until the batter is crispy and puffed.
Remove the fries from the oil and put on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Finish by sprinkling with freshly chopped coriander.
Dip your crispy fries in Chipotle and Lime Aioli and eat whilst warm.
