Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Fried Banana Peppers
  1. Thoroughly drain and pat the pickled banana pepper rings dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of seasoned salt in a large zip-top bag. Seal and shake to mix.
  3. Pour about 1 inch of canola oil into a skillet over medium heat, aiming for 350°F.
  4. Add the dried banana pepper rings to the seasoned flour mixture in the zip bag. Shake gently to coat evenly.
  5. Carefully place the coated pepper rings into the hot oil in small batches, frying for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove fried banana peppers, allowing excess oil to drip off. Transfer to a wire rack.
  7. Serve hot alongside your choice of dipping sauce.
