Fried Pepperoni

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In three separate bowls, set up a breading station. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Bread the Pepperoni

    Take a slice of pepperoni, dip it in the flour to coat, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all slices.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a breadcrumb dropped into it sizzles.

  4. 4

    Fry the Pepperoni

    Carefully add the breaded pepperoni slices to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried pepperoni from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot as a snack or appetizer.
