Breaded Olives Recipe | Vegan, GF

I love olives. Stuffed olives, plain olives, green olives, kalamata olives – olives are delicious. You may have noticed that if a recipe can have olives added to it, I’m always going to include them. And olives are always there on the small bites menu, but a spicy breaded olives recipe sounds so much better.  

For mine, I used pitted queen olives, and I definitely recommend using queen olives for this, but if you want to use stuffed olives such as garlic or pepper, that would be amazing too.  

Suggested Recipe: Sundried Tomato & Olive Tapenade

Nutritional Information  

It’s incredibly tempting to eat the whole batch in one go, and please feel free to. But if you can manage not to, I based the following on four servings per full recipe.  

Each serving contains 145 calories, 2g of fibre and 1.5g of protein, and 21% of the recommended daily amount of manganese.  

Substitutions  

As mentioned above, you can swap the olives for a stuffed olive of your choice to add another flavour/ texture to this recipe if you choose.  

And you can remove the chilli powder from the recipe and only use the herb batter if you prefer for things to be less spicy.  

Of course, if you’re not GF, you can also make this with regular plain wheat flour and breadcrumbs. But if you do opt to make this recipe with gluten, start with a third of a cup of water and add more if necessary. GF flour tends to be drier than wheat flour so you may need less water for a plain flour batter.  

Use any frying oil of your choice, I opted for sunflower oil, but rapeseed oil/ generic vegetable oil will also work well.
