Wheat-Free Breaded Zucchini

Wheat-Free Breaded Zucchini
Yum!  This is, also, eggless, gluten and dairy free.  This same method works well with mushrooms.

1 pound fresh zucchini
Sea salt
Corn starch
Corn meal
Oil for cooking

Slice the zucchini into 1/4" rounds.  Place them into a bowl and thouroughly salt them.  Stir, and salt them again.  Put them into a collander over the bowl and allow them to rest about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every so often.  Rinse the zuccini and allow it to drain.

Place the slices into a clean bowl and sprinkle cornstarch over them, stirring to coat.  Sprinkle cornmeal over them and stir again.  Add a bit more cornstarch, being sure each section is thoroughly coated.

Heat some cooking oil in a pan and deep fry the slices.  Place them into the hot oil one at a time, so it doesn't splatter.  Cook them until they are crisp, about 4 to 6 minutes per batch.  Drain them on paper towels and serve hot.

Enjoy!
