Southern Fried Squash & Zucchini

Southern Fried Squash is a summer delicacy. Fresh yellow squash and zucchini are dredged in buttermilk, breaded with flour and cornmeal, and fried until golden brown and crispy. It is a delicious way to cook summer squash and is the perfect summer side dish.

During the summer months, we have squash coming out of the garden in quantities that are kind of alarming. We really appreciate it, but it can be really overwhelming.

One of our favorite ways to use our squash is to fry up breaded squash slices in hot oil – just like fried green tomatoes. Dipped in a delicious homemade boom boom sauce or Raising Cane’s Sauce – fried squash is one of our favorite things!
