Print Recipe

Crispy Fried Banana Peppers are a tasty snack that are easy to prepare and perfect for serving with a variety of dipping sauces.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups pickled banana pepper rings (drained)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp seasoned salt
  • Canola oil (for frying)
  • Dipping sauce (e.g., Ranch dressing or comeback sauce)

Instructions

  1. Drain the banana peppers thoroughly. Spread them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and pat them completely dry.
  2. Combine the all-purpose flour and seasoned salt in a large zip-top bag and shake well.
  3. Pour about one inch of canola oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet and heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F.
  4. Add the dry banana pepper rings to the zip-top bag with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake vigorously.
  5. Working in small batches, carefully add the coated peppers to the hot oil using a slotted spoon.
  6. Fry for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the peppers from the oil and transfer them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For a lighter option, consider air frying or oven-baking instead of deep frying.
