Fried Food. Arguably America’s largest food addiction. Combining awesome crisp and tender textures along with that wonderful oil and salty flavor. Some people believe that anything is better when deep fried.
Fried food comes in a variety of forms. Head to your nearest State Fair and you’ll find dizens of fried items, many you never would have thought of before. Below is my list and comments of favorite fried food items. Go out, grab a deep frier and fry your little hearts out…literally.
Deep Fried Pretzels:
Pretzel purists look away now. Deep frying pretzel dough does take away from the standard boil and bake texture of the pretzel but a fried texture is absolutely amazing. Either make or buy some pretzel dough and fry it until it has the golden brown color. Dip in cheese or mustard sauce and enjoy!
Deep Fried Avocado:
I’m sure this sounds a little out of the ordinary for most, but deep friend avocado is absolutely amazing. The crispy outside foils the creamy texture of the avocado perfectly. Even with the deep fried crust, the avocade is the main event of this delicacy. Cube up some avocados, season(feel free to add additional items such as onions, sun dried tomatoes etc.), and wrap in a spring roll wrapper. Fry, and enjoy!
Deep Fried Asparagus:
Deep fried asparagus always brings me back to my youth in Stockton, CA at the Asparagus Festival. Batter these babies up, fry and serve topped with parmesian cheese and Tabasco. You will never look at asparagus the same ever again.
Deep Fried Corn on the Corn:
Nothing says summer more than corn on the cob. So why not fry it? The sweet vegetable works perfectly with a savory beer batter, then deep fried to give it that perfect crust. It gives the same effect of butter with a completely different texture. Make and enjoy of a nice summers evening.
Deep Fried Cheesecake:
You’re already going to enjoy a massive amount of calories, why not add some more? Freeze this rich dessert and wrap in a tortilla. Add some toothpicks to ensure the tortilla stays closed. Then fry it up. When it comes out, top with your favorite dessert toppings. I suggest fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
Spice up this romantic dessert with a little hot oil and batter. Add another dimension of deliciousness on top of the strawberries and chocolate by frying them. Make sure the chocolate covered strawberries are throughly chilled before you drop them in the oil. You only want to cook the batter and melt the chocolate, not cook the strawberry. Add some whip cream on top and enjoy!
