Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups olive oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
24 blue cheese-stuffed olives (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 lemon, zest removed in strips with a peeler
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

Pour the olive oil into a medium saucepot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Place over medium heat and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Set up a dredging station by placing the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Working in batches, drop the olives into the flour and roll until evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour and place the olives into the egg. Coat the olives in the egg and lift out, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Roll the olives in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Set aside a baking sheet.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the basil leaves and lemon peels, being aware that the oil may pop. Fry just until crispy, about 30 seconds. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Working in batches, fry the olives until the breadcrumbs are crunchy and the cheese is soft, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly.
Put the olives on a serving platter and crumble the fried basil and lemon zest over top. Sprinkle with freshly cracked pepper.

Tips:

Choose the right olives: Use firm, ripe olives for air frying. Avoid olives that are too soft or wrinkled, as they will not hold their shape well.
Season the olives: Before air frying, toss the olives in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help them to crisp up and develop a flavorful crust.
Use a non-stick cooking spray: Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the olives from sticking. This will also help them to cook evenly.
Air fry the olives in batches: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this will prevent the olives from cooking evenly. Air fry the olives in batches if necessary.
Cook the olives until they are crispy: Air fry the olives for 5-7 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.

Conclusion:

Air-fried olives are a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be seasoned to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can enjoy crispy, flavorful olives that are sure to please everyone.
