Check out this yummy recipe for Fried Sweet Banana Peppers from Wild Thyme with chef, Allison Davis!

Fried Sweet Banana Peppers

1 1/2 cup self-rising flour
1-2 egg, well beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup oil (sunflower oil or coconut oil for sweetness)
sweet banana peppers, washed, dried, seeded with pulp removed, and cut into serving pieces
2 inches of cooking oil in a deep fryer or pot on the stove (I used peanut oil.)

Combine self-rising flour, 1 well-beaten egg, 1 cup milk, and 1/4 cup oil. Stir completely, or blend with an electric mixer. Have your sweet banana peppers prepared for cooking. Heat 2 inches of oil in an electric deep fryer or a pot on the stove to 360 degrees. With tongs, gently lay pepper pieces in batter, allowing excess batter to drip into bowl, and then gently transfer to the hot oil. You may fry several pieces at the same time. Fry until golden brown on both sides, and then remove with tongs or other utensil and place on paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. When all peppers are fried and removed, pat the upper side to remove any further excess oil. Now, place the Deep-Fried Banana Peppers on a nice serving dish and serve with dipping sauce.
