Fried Pickles

Fried Pickles

Fried Pickles are a great appetizer or snack, but have you ever added it to a sandwich? Those ones that are sliced thin down the length of a pickle are great on a wrap with shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, carrots, etc and ranch dressing. This seasoned mix is the same as the KFC Cauliflower recipe. We keep a mason jar of it in the pantry so we can fry up all sorts of things (zucchini sticks, mushrooms, etc.). These fried pickles reheat great in the air fryer so make a batch and freeze. (They could also be a quick nugget in a pinch!).

Ingredients
  

  • 6 1/2 ounces Pickle Slices
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Egg Replacer
  • 1/3 cup Ice cold water
  • 2 tablespoons Wheat Starch
  • 2 tablespoons CFL Toasted Bread Crumbs * see note below
Seasoned starch
  • 1/2 cup Cook for Love Baking Mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sweet Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Parsley
---
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Combine baking mix, xanthan gum, salt, Mrs. Dash (or ½ tsp onion, ½ tsp garlic, dash cayenne, ¼ tsp white pepper), garlic, parsley, paprika, oregano and sugar in a small bowl. Mix, set aside.
  2. Combine ener-g egg replacer with ice cold water (the colder the batter, the crispier the pickle). Add 2 tablespoons of the CFL seasoned starch to the ener-g egg replacer batter.
  3. Add the toasted breadcrumbs to the remaining dry starch mixture.
  4. Dip each pickle slice into the wheat starch, then ener-g egg replacer batter and then the seasoned CFL mix.
  5. Fry in hot oil (375) for about 3 minutes.

Notes

If you do not have toasted lp breadcrumbs on hand, you can add 10 gm crushed cornflakes or even ground up gluten free pretzels – just adjust the phe. It also works with just the seasoned starch, but we prefer it with a little more texture.
