Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Pitted green olives
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 240 milliliters Plant-based milk
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 20 grams Nutritional yeast
- 5 grams Salt
- 2 grams Black pepper
- 5 grams Garlic powder
- 5 grams Onion powder
- 5 grams Paprika
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Begin by draining the pitted green olives completely and pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps the batter adhere better.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: in the first bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch evenly. In the second bowl, pour the plant-based milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, making sure the spices are evenly distributed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or small pot over medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of about 180°C (350°F).
Roll each olive in the flour mixture first, shaking off excess. Next, dip it into the plant-based milk, ensuring it is well coated. Finally, roll the olive in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing slightly to adhere a thick layer.
Once the oil is hot enough, carefully place a few coated olives into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the olives and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the vegan crispy fried olives warm, with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a vegan garlic aioli or a spicy marinara.
