Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Large green olives, pitted
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Rinse the pitted green olives under cold water to remove any brine residue, then pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
In a small bowl, crack and beat the eggs until smooth. Set aside.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: first bowl with gluten-free all-purpose flour, second with beaten eggs, and third with a mixture of gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or a small pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
Take each olive and roll it in the flour to coat, then dip it in the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
Once all olives are coated, carefully place them in the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs, being cautious to avoid splashes.
Fry the olives in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the fried olives with the slotted spoon, and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fried olives warm as a delightful snack or appetizer, possibly with a favorite dip such as marinara sauce or aioli.
