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)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by draining the dill pickle chips well and pat them dry using paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In another large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and baking powder.

Step 4

Gradually add the vegan 'buttermilk' to the flour mixture, whisking until you have a smooth batter.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, place the cornmeal.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Dip each pickle chip into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off before dredging it in the cornmeal to coat completely.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the fried pickles using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
