Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams large green olives
- 1 cup low sodium panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup olive oil
Instructions
Drain and pat dry the green olives using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and dried oregano.
In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together until well combined.
Place the low sodium panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Coat each olive by first rolling it in the flour mixture, then dipping it into the egg wash, and finally rolling it in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Ensure each olive is fully covered with the breadcrumbs for the crispiest texture.
Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Once the oil is ready, carefully add the breaded olives in small batches to the pan, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon.
Remove the fried olives from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the low sodium crispy fried olives warm, optionally with a side of low sodium marinara sauce or lemon wedges for extra flavor.
