Method
Olive Fritters
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Add Egg and Water
Add the egg and cold water to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Coat the Olives
Dip each pitted green olive into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
Fry the Olives
Carefully drop the coated olives into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Roasted Pecans
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Toss the Pecans
In a bowl, combine the pecans, olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and maple syrup. Toss to coat the pecans evenly.
Roast the Pecans
Spread the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are fragrant and golden.
