Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 88kcal
Ingredients
- 46 whole pickle chips (between 40-50)
- 6 tablespoon unflavored whey protein isolate (¼ cup + 2 tbsp)
- ¾ teaspoon cajun seasoning
- ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste, you can sprinkle pickles with more salt after frying if you prefer)
- oil for frying
- serve with dipping sauce of choice
Instructions
- Drain the pickles by removing them from the jar with a slotted spoon. Set aside in a small dish. Heat your oil in a heavy bottomed skillet (like a cast iron) to 375°F. In a shallow dish, combine Isopure and seasonings. Working in batches with a fork, dredge the pickle slices in the mixture until they are well coated, about 4- 6 slices at a time.
- Drop the pickle slices into the oil immediately after dredging them. Don't pre-dredge anything, or the Isopure breading will stick to the surface you are resting the pickles on.
- Allow the pickles to get golden brown, this will take about 1-2 minutes on each side. When the pickles are done, transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet. Let the oil come back to 375°F between batches, as the pickles will lower the temperature of the oil.
- Serve theseketo fried pickles with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy right away!
