Number Of Ingredients 9

1 10-ounce jar stuffed green olives
2 cups Panko bread crumbs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili powder
2-3 large eggs
Cooking spray (olive oil or canola)
GARNISHES: fresh oregano leaves + grated Parmesan cheese
OPTIONAL: Your favorite dipping sauce!

Steps:

  • Take out 3 bowls. Crack eggs into the first. Whisk with a fork. In the second bowl mix together the flour, paprika and garlic powder. Add Panko crumbs to the third bowl.
  • Drain off the liquid from the olives. Toss them in flour. Dip them in the beaten egg and coat them well! No areas of dry flour areas should be visible on the olives! Coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. As you work, place the battered olives on a plate in a single layer.
  • Hold the plate of olives over the kitchen sink. Spray them well with cooking spray. If your air fryer basket is stainless steel, lightly spray the basket to prevent sticking. Transfer the olives to the air fryer basket. Arrange them in a single layer with a bit of space between each piece.
  • Air fry the olives at 400°F for 5 minutes. Flip them over. Spray them with cooking spray. Air fry at 400°F for 3 minutes. With tongs, transfer the fried olives to a serving dish.
  • Garnish your appetizer with fresh oregano leaves and a light sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. If desired, serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
