Ingredients
- 2 large green bell peppers
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 240 ml cold sparkling water
- 240 ml vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the green bell peppers. Slice them horizontally into 1/4-inch thick rings and remove seeds and membranes.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when a drop of batter sizzles immediately upon contact.
Step 5
Dip each green bell pepper ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Step 6
Carefully place the battered rings into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Step 7
Cook the rings for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip them midway through cooking.
Step 8
Transfer the fried rings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining bell pepper rings.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as-is!
