I think all the previous suggestions are good especially making sure the tempura batter is cold. The other thing that you might want to do is to make sure the zucchini slices are pressed down with a plate after you salt it so that all the liquid is drained out. Or better still, wrap the whole thing in a tea towel and squeeze and wring until all the liquid comes out.

Would love to know how the next zucchini experiment goes.

You might want to try this South Beach friendly zucchini recipe from Kalyn’s Kitchen. I haven’t tried this yet but it does look delicious and less fatty.

Suggestion: why not fry them again? I tried it before with french fries which I made from scratch (fresh potatoes). It came
out (the 2nd frying) like Piknik (those canned french fries).

I just remembered reading a while ago about Patsy’s restaurant and it was Frank Sinatra’s fave eatery and he had his private room upstairs where he brought his pals.

Btw, I always slice my zucchinis’a tad thicker and cook it almost straight away.

You might try just flour with salt and pepper.
