This is a good one to get picky eaters to eat. From my husband down to my 3 kids (ages 13, 12,and 5) they all love it. The only difference that I do to this recipe is I use whole milk sometimes. It works just as great and works in a pinch if you don't have buttermilk on hand. Even though I believe the buttermilk method is better myself. My grandma and mom made it that way and it reminds me of them and home everytime I make it. -
I used Greek yogurt to soak them in and it was amazing! Also used Jiffy corm bread mix instead of cornmeal, Melted in your mouth. -
I didn't have any buttermilk so I used one cup of milk 1 T. cider vinegar, which gave this a really nice flavor. I also fried up some sliced green tomatoes and some overgrown green beans using this method. We loved it! I loved that I didn't need a big pot of oil to fry these....I used just about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in my medium frying pan. Thanks! -
I have never done the soaking in buttermilk step and that really does improve the texture of these "chips." I will make them this way from now on, but probably use only flour as per my preference. -
Tried this with Zucchini instead of yellow squash, and it came out wonderfully!

SUCH A GREAT RECIPE! I used extra fine italian bread crumbs in place of corn meal (that's all I had!) I also added seasoning salt as someone else suggested. So DELICIOUS! Next time I'll use the corn meal, but the bread crumbs did work wonderfully!
