Fried foods come in many varieties, including classic dishes and creative ideas. Meat, fish, vegetables, and sweet snacks can all be fried, including ice cream, candy bars, and cookies. French fries, onion rings, and fried noodles are popular options, as well as corn dogs as a North American snack.
The different types of fried foods include a variety of meal and snack options. Many are classics, while other fried dishes are creative ideas since almost anything can be cooked this way. Meat, fish and poultry as well as noodles, fruit, vegetables and sweet snacks are popular types of fried foods.
Surprisingly, even ice cream can be fried. Only ice cream that has been frozen at a much lower temperature than usual can be fried, or it will melt too quickly. A coating of cookie crumbs, finely chopped nuts, or crushed grains is often added to a scoop of ice cream before frying it. Whipped cream, candy sprinkles, and/or sweet sauce can be served with the fried ice cream.
Candy bars and cookies are other desserts that can be fried. Desserts or sweet snacks that are made from a batter rather than pre-prepared and freshly dipped in it include donuts, cupcakes, churros, and zeppole, among many other possibilities. Donuts are ring-shaped fried foods with a cake-like texture eaten for dessert or a snack. They are often glazed with a sugary glaze and may also have a topping of crushed nuts or candy sprinkles.
Beignets are fried delicacies that are crispy on the outside with a chocolate filling and are often served hot with a caramel sauce. Churros are fried foods popular in Spain and Mexico. They are long strips of fried dough sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Italian zeppole are deep-fried desserts or snacks filled with sweet ricotta.
French fries are one of the most widely recognized fried foods. Eaten as a side dish or snack, fried potato strips are a fast-food staple. Sweet potatoes and yams are also made into French fries. Other popular vegetable fried foods include onion rings and slices of zucchini, mushrooms and green beans. Even pickles can be cooked in a deep fryer. Popular fried fruits include apples and bananas.
Asian noodles are often fried to give them a crunchy texture. They are usually long, thin and can be made from rice flour. Fried noodles give crunch to salads or can serve as a basis for cooked meat and vegetable dishes. Fried foods such as meat, fish, and poultry are typically dipped in batter and cooked to serve as an appetizer. An exception to this are corn dogs, which are sausages coated in cornmeal batter, fried, and eaten on a stick as a snack at fairs in North America.
