Fried Friday: What's Your Favorite Fried Vegetable?
TGIFF, my fellow Healthkickers!
The idea of a "fried vegetable" seems kind of counterproductive, doesn't it? I mean, the reason we eat vegetables (aside from them tasting good) is so that we can get our vitamins and minerals and nutrients -- right? And when we fry our vegetables, we're ruining all that!
But man, they taste good.
My favorite fried vegetable is fried string beans. I first had them at TGI Fridays, and was hooked! They were so good, and I was shocked at how much I liked them!
I also know people who love fried zucchini, fried green tomatoes and fried squash blossoms.
What's your favorite fried vegetable? Do you make them at home, or do you get them when you're out to eat? Is frying a vegetable really eliminating all of the nutrients?

- About Me: While I tried to stay in college for as long as I possibly could, I picked up a Psychology minor, forcing myself to learn a little about mental health. What I didn't know was how closely linked mental and physical health, are to each other. Now that I've graduated, I've enjoyed writing about all different aspects of health for Healthkicker. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that there's no way to live healthy unless you're happy, too. I'm hoping to be able to give as much insight as I can, while picking up a few tips from everyone along the way!
 If there was one drink I could not live with, it'd be WATER. While I do thrive off of energy drinks, I drink about 15 glasses of water a day. As far as my favorite foods go, I'll eat anything with cheese, chicken, and asparagus. Also, ANY kind of fruit!

Okra! It's my favorite, then
SquashGreen tomatoesPotatoesI've never had a fried vegetable. You know, besides the occasional french fries or onion rings of course.
Fried okra, fried squash(sliced really thin), and fried jalapenos.
I love fried green beans in balsamic sauce.
Sweet potatoes <3 :D I love getting it at sushi places.
I love deep fried mushrooms with ranch dressing. SO bad for you but so amazing.
My favorite is fried potatoes. Sliced, diced, or in fry shape. Regular or sweet. Nom.
Oh god. Being from the south, I LOVE my deep fryer. (Probably why I'm sobbing and trying to drop 10lbs now, lol)
Favorite fried veggies for me: Squash, Okra, Green Tomatoes (add some salt to those babies and go to town! Yum!), and potatoes~
My dad's motto is: If you can eat it, you can deep fry it... and I guess its rubbed off on me. XD
But my all-time favorite is french fries!! :)
Uh, do french fries count? I really don't like fried tomatoes. Fried pickles aren't as bad as I thought they'd be.
I love fried zucchini...and the green bean fries at TGI Fridays are AMAZING!!!!
@explosive@xanga - I thought that potatoes are more of a starch than a vegetable... don't get me wrong, I love potatoes as much as the next person, but I don't think they count as a vegetable...
Fried mushrooms <3
i haven't eaten anything fried in three years (since i became a vegetarian), but the last time i hada fried vegetable it was fried green beans. sounds slightly repulsive, but they were sooo good.
lol, fried zucchini is a fruit.
