Ingredients

For the fried pickles:
  • 1 lb pickles
  • 1/2 cups Cassava flour
  • 1 tsp dried basil or dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 3 cups Avocado oil or palm oil for frying
For the dip:
  • 1/4 cups plain coconut yogurt
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder to taste
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder to taste

Directions

  1. Slice the pickles into circles or ovals.
  2. Combine the cassava flour with the dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper, and mix well.
  3. Dredge the sliced pickles in the flour mixture on both sides and set aside on a plate. For extra crispy fried pickles, wait until the flour on the pickles gets a little soggy, then dredge the pickles in the flour again.
  4. Heat the frying oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan or deep pan until about 365-375 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don’t have a food thermometer for deep frying, you can carefully test if the oil is hot enough by adding a floured pickle to the oil. If the pickle starts frying immediately and tiny bubbles form all around it, the oil is hot enough to fry pickles. If no bubbles form, then heat the oil longer and test again with another piece of floured pickle.
  5. Use metal tongs to gently place the floured pickles into the oil, taking care not to crowd them. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until the pickles turn a light golden brown. If the bottom of the pickles is frying faster than the top, use tongs to carefully flip the pickles.
  6. Place the fried pickles on a large plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
  7. Allow the pickles to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the dip: in a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dip and mix well. Serve pickles warm with the creamy dip.
