Air Fried Olives Recipes

FRIED OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet.
• Toast in the preheated oven until nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Combine walnuts and bread crumbs in a food processor; process until finely ground but mixture is still light and airy. Spread into a shallow pan and set aside.
• Beat eggs and water together in a shallow bowl. Spread flour on a shallow plate. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Dip olives, a few at a time, into the beaten eggs. Roll in flour, then dip again into the beaten eggs. Let excess egg drip off the olives, then roll in the walnut mixture. Transfer to the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the olives are coated with the walnut mixture. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before frying.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lower 12 olives into the oil and fry until coating is golden, about 45 seconds. Drain briefly on paper towels. Repeat with remaining olives. Serve warm.

FRIED OLIVES

Steps:

• Soak olives in cold water for 15 minutes to reduce brininess. Drain, and pat dry. Stuff each with blue cheese.
• Put flour, egg, and breadcrumbs in 3 bowls. Dredge olives in flour, dip in egg, then dredge in breadcrumbs. Refrigerate until ready to fry.
• Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, fry olives until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Serve warm.

AIR FRYER RANCH-STUFFED OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix cream cheese and ranch powder in a bowl until evenly combined. Spoon mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Snip off a small corner with scissors and pipe cheese mixture into olives.
• Place flour in a bowl. Place egg in a separate bowl and bread crumbs in a third bowl. Coat olives first in flour, then in egg, back in flour, back in egg, and finally in bread crumbs. Place olives in the basket of the air fryer and spray the tops with cooking spray.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes; shaking halfway through cook time.
