🌟 Tips for Perfect Fried Yellow Squash
- Bacon Grease Substitute: If you don’t have bacon grease, you can use butter or olive oil. However, bacon grease adds a unique depth of flavor that is hard to beat.
- Fresh Basil: If you have fresh basil on hand, feel free to use it instead of dried basil. Simply chop a few fresh basil leaves and add them towards the end of the cooking time.
- Variety of Squash: While this recipe uses zucchini, you can also use yellow squash or a mix of both for added color and flavor.
