Easy Air Fryer Fried Olives
Description
Crispy, golden air fryer fried olives: stuffed green olives breaded in seasoned panko and air fried in 10 minutes. A quick, salty appetizer for parties and game day.
Ingredients
- 10 ounces stuffed green olives, drained
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika, or chili powder
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- In one shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk the eggs in a second bowl, and add the panko to a third.
- Drain the olives and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Coat each olive in the flour, then the egg, then the panko, pressing gently so the crumbs stick.
- Spray the air fryer basket. Arrange the olives in a single layer and spray the tops generously.
- Air fry for 5 minutes. Flip, spray again, and air fry for 3–5 more minutes until golden and crisp. Repeat with any remaining olives.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Equipment
- 3 shallow bowls
- Parchment liner (optional)
Notes
Drying the olives is the most important step. Frozen raw breaded olives can go straight into the air fryer at 400°F for 8–10 minutes.
