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)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by draining the pitted green olives completely and pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps the batter adhere better.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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).
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Use a slotted spoon to remove the olives and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the vegan crispy fried olives warm, with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a vegan garlic aioli or a spicy marinara.
