Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat about 1-inch of canola oil to 350℉.
  • Cover a rimmed baking sheet with a layer of paper towels, then set two wire racks on top of the towels- side by side. Set aside.
  • In a large ziplock-ing bag add both the flour and salt. Seal the bag to close, and give it a good shake to evenly combine the two.
  • Add the well drained peppers to the flour mixture, seal the bag, and shake to coat the peppers.
  • Working in batches, add the peppers to the hot oil and fry until crispy.
  • When golden brown, use a strainer spoon and carefully transfer the fried peppers to the wire rack to cool and drain off excess grease.
  • Repeat until all the peppers are fried, serve warm with dipping sauce of choice.
