Crispy zucchini sticks in garlic batter are finger food you can enjoy wrapped in just a napkin. Young zucchini don't need peeling; simply cut them lengthwise into four to six sticks. Coat them in a smooth batter of egg, flour, milk, baking powder, and crushed garlic, then fry in sunflower oil until golden. They're delicious on their own or with fresh vegetables and make a quick lunch or dinner for kids, too.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Wash the zucchini and trim off the ends. Young zucchini don't need peeling. Cut them lengthwise into 4–6 sticks each, depending on their size.
For the batter, combine the egg, crushed garlic, flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ingredients, and mix until smooth. Coat the zucchini sticks in the batter and fry until golden.
Drain the fried zucchini sticks on a paper towel to absorb excess oil, then serve.
Tip: First halve large zucchini lengthwise and scoop out the watery, seedy centers with a spoon. This helps the batter stick to the zucchini and keeps it from peeling off during frying.
