How to Make Beer Batter Fried Veggies N Things
- Preheat your deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 packet ranch soup mix, 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Add the wet ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup beer (any kind works!), and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
- Cut your vegetables (such as broccoli florets, bell pepper strips, zucchini slices) into bite-sized pieces. If using mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes and chill beforehand.
- Carefully dip the vegetables and cheese into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Gently drop the battered items into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Turn carefully using tongs.
- Remove the fried veggies and cheese from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
