Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Olives
Carefully lower the breaded olives into the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
