  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 yellow squash, cut into 1/8-inch slices
  • ¼ cup olive oil, or more as needed

Instructions

  1. Place cornbread mix in a 1-gallon resealable bag; season with salt and black pepper. Add squash
  2. seal the bag
  3. and shake until evenly coated. Remove squash from the bag and shake off any excess cornmeal.
  4. Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Working in batches
  6. fry squash until the center is cooked and the edges are crisp
  7. 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
