Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
  • 2 cups pickled banana pepper rings
  • 1 cup canola or peanut oil

Method
 

  1. Drain pickled banana peppers and pat dry on paper towels until surface feels tacky
  2. Combine flour and seasoned salt in a zip-top bag
  3. Add banana pepper rings to the bag; shake gently to coat evenly
  4. Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (use a candy thermometer for accuracy)
  5. Fry pepper batches in hot oil for 30-60 seconds until golden brown
  6. Drain on a wire rack for a lighter texture

Notes

Ensure peppers are completely dry to maximize crispiness
Use a heavy-bottomed pan for stable oil temperature
Freeze unbreaded coated peppers for up to 1 month for quick frying later
Consider garlic salt or paprika as seasoned salt alternatives
