    <![CDATA[<p>The zucchini is a vegetable I did not eat very much growing up. Not quite sure why but I do know my grandmother didn’t like cooking things she couldn’t pronounce (I take that back, she made Chicken Tetrazzini a few times ). I came up with this recipe when I was frying chicken and felt guilty because I wasn’t eating a vegetable. There was a lonely zucchini sitting in the fridge and I decided to cook it the same way I was cooking the chicken.</p>

    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Mix flour and seasoning in large try or plate and set aside . Pour hot sauce in separate bowl and set aside.</li>
		<li>Peel skin from zucchini and cut into shape of french fries (size at your discretion).</li>
		<li>Add zucchini fries to bowl of hot sauce, mix and let sit for a few minutes.</li>
		<li>Meanwhile pour vegetable oil into frying pan (enough to just cover fries) and heat to 375 degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer drop one test fry to oil, the oil is hot enough with the fry comes to a good sizzle</li>
		<li>Take a batch of fries from hot sauce and dredge in flour mixture.</li>
		<li>Add fries to oil and cook in batches. Do not crowd the pan as this will lower your oil too much and cause the zucchini to be soggy.</li>
		<li>When fries are golden brown, remove from oil and allow to drain on paper towel. Serve with hot sauce or ranch for dipping.</li>
