Ingredients
- 250 grams Large pitted green olives
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 25 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Drain the olives and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, as this will help the breading adhere better.
Step 2
In a small bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, dried oregano, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Set up a breading station: first coat each olive in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the floured olives into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully covered. Let any excess egg drip off before placing the olives in the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 4
Gently press the olive into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each one is entirely coated in crumbs. Set each prepared olive on a plate as you work.
Step 5
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 180°C (350°F). To test the oil, drop a breadcrumb in – if it sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.
Step 6
Carefully lower a few olives at a time into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Do not overcrowd the pan as this will lower the oil temperature. Fry the olives for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the fried olives to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining olives.
Step 9
Serve the fried olives warm, optionally with a side of aioli or marinara sauce for dipping.
