1 Video | Photo: Simple Fritto Misto Recipe
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- Generous pinch salt, plus more for sprinkling
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 4 ounces green beans, halved if long
- 2 small zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 lemon, sliced into very thin round slices
Directions
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F.
Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in the water to make a thin batter. Dip the green beans, zucchini and lemons in the batter and carefully place them in the saucepan. Fry the vegetables until lightly browned, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain the vegetables on paper towels and immediately sprinkle with salt. Serve the vegetables warm.

These were really good. Our favorite was the green beans. Didn't care much for the lemon slices.

So great! I used asparagus because I was trying to re-create a dish from my favorite Italian restaurant that is an hour away from my house. This recipe nailed it! The corn starch and sparkling water did the trick. No need for dipping sauce - just a little salt and pepper. My husband said they were better than French fries and I agree. Thanks Melissa!

My mom made it and it was great but the lemon was a little to sour for me and I loved the green beans . But I'm giving it 4 stars
