Directions
Step 1
Drain the pitted green olives well and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, pour the chickpea liquid (aquafaba), and whisk it until slightly frothy.

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Step 5
Take each olive and first coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Finally, roll the olive in the panko breadcrumbs until it is well coated.
Step 8
Repeat the coating process for all the olives.

Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat to 180°C (350°F).
Step 10
Fry the coated olives in batches for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 11
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried olives and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
