The process changes the chemical structure of fats, making them difficult for your body to break down, which can ultimately lead to negative health effects. In fact, trans fats are associated with an increased risk of many diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity 6 , 7 , 8. Since fried foods are cooked in oil at extremely high temperatures, they are likely to contain trans fats.
One US study on soybean and canola oils found that 0. When these oils are heated to high temperatures, such as during frying, their trans fat content can increase In fact, one study found each time an oil is re-used for frying, its trans fat content increases These have not been shown to have the same negative effects on health as those found in fried and processed foods.
Several studies in adults have found an association between eating fried foods and the risk of chronic disease. Generally speaking, eating more fried foods is associated with a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity In fact, two large observational studies found that the more often people ate fried foods, the greater their risk of developing heart disease Another observational study found that a diet high in fried foods was associated with a significantly higher risk of heart attack Meanwhile, those who ate a diet high in fruits and vegetables were at a significantly lower risk.
Several studies have found that eating fried foods puts you at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes 20 , One study found that people who ate fast food more than two times per week were twice as likely to develop insulin resistance , compared to those who ate it less than once a week Furthermore, two large observational studies found a strong association between how often participants ate fried food and the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Fried foods contain more calories than their non-fried counterparts, so eating a lot of them can significantly increase your calorie intake. Furthermore, studies indicate that the trans fats in fried foods may play a significant role in weight gain, as they can affect the hormones that regulate appetite and fat storage A study in monkeys found that even in the absence of additional calories, trans fat consumption significantly increased belly fat Meanwhile, increases in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat intakes were not associated with weight gain.
Acrylamide is a toxic substance that can form in foods during high-temperature cooking, such as frying, roasting or baking. Starchy foods like fried potato products and baked goods typically have higher concentrations of acrylamide Animal studies have found that it poses a risk for several types of cancer 28 , However, most of these studies used very high doses of acrylamide, ranging from 1,—, times the average amount that humans would be exposed to through diet One review found a modest association between dietary acrylamide in humans and kidney, endometrial and ovarian cancers Other studies indicate that dietary acrylamide in humans is not related to the risk of any type of common cancer 32 , The type of oil used for frying heavily influences the health risks associated with fried foods.
Some oils can withstand much higher temperatures than others, making them safer to use. Generally speaking, oils that consist mostly of saturated and monounsaturated fats are the most stable when heated.
Cooking oils that contain a high amount of polyunsaturated fats are far less stable and known to form acrylamide when exposed to high heat Unfortunately, they are commonly used by restaurants, as they tend to be cheaper.
Not only should you avoid these oils for deep frying, you should try to avoid them altogether. In fact, eating them regularly can put you at a higher risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart disease and obesity. There's a few things you can do — if you throw a hot dog into the fryer and cook it until the skin gets super crispy and the casing breaks, you're actually whipping up a New Jersey favorite. They're called rippers, and that's exactly what Jersey staple Rutt's Hut is known for.
Love hot dogs that snap? This is snap to the extreme. Or, you could opt for beer-battering your hot dog and then frying it. That, too, is pretty darn delicious.
In this case, skip the bun and just dunk into the dipping sauce of your choice Brussels sprouts are one of those things that we all know we should eat more of, but They're Brussels sprouts! There's good news, though: you can absolutely deep fry them and make them into a side you actually want to finish.
You don't even have to batter them; just clean them up and throw them in the oil. Keep those loose leaves on the outside, and they'll turn into some delicious crispiness. Sprinkle on some Parmesan, or whip up a quick, spicy sort of sauce for dipping, and you'll find even the biggest sprout-hater will be singing a different tune.
Even better? Add some bacon, because everything's better with bacon! When it comes to Scotch eggs, there are extremes. Get a badly made one, and you'll wonder what the fuss is about — it can be sort of like eating a rubbery tennis ball.
But get a good and proper one, and you'll know that this is what frying was invented for. The year was , and they decided to wrap an egg in some meat and deep-fry it. Done right, the entire thing holds together so you get it all in one bite: a crispy exterior, flavorful sausage, and a soft-but-solid egg, and it'll seriously change the way you think about breakfast. Whoever says England has nothing but bland, tasteless food and yes, they're from England, not Scotland has clearly never had one of these.
Everyone's had a donut, sure, but a beignet isn't your regular donut. There are actually two different types of beignet — the French kind, which is made with a choux pastry similar to an eclair or cream puff , while the popular, New Orleans-style is made with a typical yeast-based dough that has more liquids than a donut dough.
That extra liquid means it has more air pockets inside when it's fried, and the final result is like biting into a soft square of pillowy goodness. And you absolutely need to try a New Orleans-style beignet, because they're not just a brilliant breakfast, they're brilliant any time of the day — particularly with a cup of coffee.
Where a donut tends to be dense, these are flaky, light, and if angels drink anything with their coffee, it's definitely these. They're usually covered with a healthy coat of powdered sugar, so bring a napkin No, don't cringe!
Just hear us out. The idea of deep-fried butter is certainly an artery-clogging nightmare for anyone who cares about their health in the least, but we're not saying you should eat it all the time. But you should, however, give it a try. It debuted at the State Fair of Texas , because of course it did. It's not just a stick of fried butter, it's actually butter that's been whipped until it's light and fluffy, then frozen and coated in a layer of dough.
It's only then that it's deep-fried, and it's heavenly. Don't think of it as biting into a stick of butter, thick of it as a dough ball with a soft, melty, buttery center. You do like buttery, delicious, biscuits and croissants, right? It's actually sort of similar, with the kind of crunch you only get from something that's fried.
See — it's not as insane as you thought, right? The idea of fried green tomatoes is one that's been around forever. It sounds like something fancy southern ladies would serve at picnics, and there's a good reason for that — they absolutely are a southern classic.
If you're anywhere outside of the American south, though, they sound a little weird and there's a good chance you've just never had the chance to try these. If you can find a comfort food restaurant that serves them up, put in an order pronto. But if you can't, just make them yourself — they're easy, and they're absolutely a fried food you need to try before you die. They're often made with green, not-yet-rip tomatoes, and that slightly sour taste pairs extremely well with the crunchy, fried coating.
Right, so this is definitely a regional thing, but once you know what it is, you'll be running out to grab some fish to deep-fry yourself. Depending on where you are, they're also called crunchies, fish bits, or scrump, but scraps are essentially the super-deep-fried pieces of batter that come off of fried fish.
The best place to get them is a fish and chip shop in the north of England, and honestly, ask for them anywhere else and you're likely to just get a blank stare. Just think of the last time you had fried fish. Did you break off a piece of batter, deliciously crunchy, delightfully crispy, and slightly fishy?
Did you wish you could have a whole plate of just batter and skip the fish? This exists, and even more surprisingly, fish and chip shops have traditionally given the scraps away for free. They are by far the best part! If you've seen these before, it was probably at fairs, carnivals, and Christmas markets.
They're traditional Scandinavian cookies, originally served around Christmas-time, and they're delicate, deep-fried creations that look more like something you'd hang on the tree rather than eat. You probably gave them a miss in favor of something a little But you absolutely shouldn't — they're as delicious as they are delicate. Everyone should try them at least once. And you can definitely make them at home, with the help of a special rosette iron that gets heated, half-coated in batter, then fried on the iron.
If you want to spend a lazy afternoon making cookies one at a time, dusting them with sugar, and sharing something extra-special at dessert? These are your cookies. Selling the idea of a vegetarian meal to a die-hard carnivore can be tough If you're looking for a vegetarian dish that's packed with flavor and spice, and has all the firmness and bite of a burger, give falafel a whirl.
It's been around forever — it's a traditional food commonly seen in the Mediterranean, and while it was first made with fava beans and chickpeas, these days it's most commonly just the chickpeas. They're soaked, ground, and seasoned, then shaped into balls and deep-fried. Done right — and in super-hot oil — you get a crispy outside and a firm but not oily inside. And they're a flavorful, hearty center of a meal that's guaranteed to satisfy even the most skeptical meat-eater.
Serve with pitas, garnish with whatever veggies you like, and add a spicy sauce to top it all off, and you'll have a meat-free meal that won't get any arguments. Who doesn't love mac and cheese? If you thought it was good on its own, you'll really love all that cheesy, gooey pasta once it's been deep-fried. And if you can't find it on a menu near you, you can always fry it up at home. In fact, it's a great use for leftover mac and cheese.
Take it out of the fridge so it's nice and firm , and use an ice cream scoop to form it into balls. Add some batter or breading, then toss your mac and cheese balls in the deep fryer. It really is that easy, and instead of that leftover mac and cheese with the questionable texture, you'll have delicious, deep-fried nuggets of cheesy goodness.
No more worry about re-hydrating mac and cheese, and no more waste. It's a win all around! Peanuts are a great snack, but the shells are annoying, right?
It's not just that they're a ton of work, but they're messy, too. There's a solution: deep-fried peanuts, and yes, you fry them in the shell and everything turns out edible. Sounds too good to be true, right? It's not! Deep-fried peanuts are popular in pockets of the U. They should, though — when they're deep-fried, the shell stays crunchy but also turns edible.
It's so weird, we know! But you really should try them — and you can absolutely make them at home with a handful of regular, shell-on peanuts thrown in your own deep fryer Anyone who's ever seen a clip from Hell's Kitchen knows that risotto is a big deal. It's challenging to make, and once you'd had it, there's another challenge: what to do with the leftovers, because let's be honest, there's only so much risotto a family can eat.
