Olive Bites image

We used to eat fried olive bites at the State Fair of Texas but they got dropped due to the supplier not supplying them . I came up with my own version to satisfy our craving. Good as is but we like to dip in a creamy Greek dip. These can be made ahead and frozen. Allow to come to room temp approx 30 minutes before frying.

These were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more oil next time.

I'm not a big fan of olives, but I actually really enjoyed these. They were crispy and flavorful.

These were a great way to use up some leftover olives. I'll definitely be making them again.

I thought these were just okay. I think they need a little something extra, maybe some herbs or spices.

I didn't have any panko breadcrumbs, so I used crushed crackers instead. They worked just as well.

I followed the recipe exactly and the olive bites turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

These olive bites were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These were delicious! I used a variety of olives and they all worked well. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
