The freshly-grown jalapenos are the star of this dish, giving it its signature kick. The breadcrumbs introduce the crunch factor, and the salt brings out the notes of spice to their fullest. Feel free to substitute breadcrumbs with Panko for an added crunch or experiment with your choice of spices to make this recipe your own.

How To Make Fried Jalapenos

1. First, let���s prep our jalapenos. Slice the top off each jalapeno then slice them in half lengthwise. You can leave the seeds in if you like it extra spicy, but otherwise, scoop them out.

2. For the breading, have your flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Coat each jalapeno half in flour, dunk it in the egg, and then roll it in breadcrumbs.

3. Heat your oil in a deep fryer or frying pan. Test the oil temperature by dropping a breadcrumb in. If it sizzles, you���re good to go. Fry the jalapenos until they turn golden brown. This should take about 3-5 minutes each side.

4. Use tongs to remove the fried jalapenos and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Wait for them to cool a bit before serving and then enjoy!
