Ingredients

  • 12 large pickle spears, drained and patted dry
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Ranch sauce or your favorite dipping sauce

Instructions

  • Make your dredging station:
    - Place the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a shallow dish
    - Beat the eggs in a separate shallow dish
    - Place the Panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
  • Cut the thickest spears lengthwise to make them all roughly the same size. Dredge the pickle spears first in the flour, then the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
  • While the oil is heating up in a large skillet over medium-high heat, let the spears sit for 5-10 minutes. This will dry the coating a little and make it stick better to the pickle spears.
  • Once the vegetable oil is hot, fry the pickle spears in batches until golden brown. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
