Crispy Fried Olives
- 1 cup pitted green olives
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Garlic Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Rinse the pitted green olives under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Prepare a three-part breading station with all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl to make the garlic aioli, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Dip each olive in flour, then eggs, and finally coat with the panko mixture before frying.
Fry the olives in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.
Serve the crispy fried olives warm with garlic aioli for dipping.
