Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Dill pickle chips
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (or sub all-purpose flour)
- 1 cup Non-dairy milk (e.g., almond, soy)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Begin by draining the dill pickle chips well and pat them dry using paper towels. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar to create a vegan 'buttermilk'. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle slightly.
In another large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and baking powder.
Gradually add the vegan 'buttermilk' to the flour mixture, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
In a shallow dish, place the cornmeal.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Dip each pickle chip into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off before dredging it in the cornmeal to coat completely.
Gently place the battered pickles into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the fried pickles using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
