• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Sparkling water
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Pat the dill pickle slices dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.

Gradually add sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be like pancake batter.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Dip each pickle slice into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated pickle slices into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the pickles for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
