Ingredients

• 10 pieces Fresh jalapenos
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the jalapenos into 1/4-inch thick rings. Carefully remove the seeds if you prefer less heat. Set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow baking dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

Step 5

Dredge each jalapeno slice in the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly. Then dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere. Repeat until all slices are coated.

Step 6

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be at least 2-3 inches deep to ensure the jalapenos fry evenly.

Step 7

Fry the jalapeno slices in small batches for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot, as this can lower the oil temperature.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried jalapenos and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve immediately with ranch dressing, sour cream, or your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy!
