Whole wheat flour adds fiber; cornstarch gives a lighter coating.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: canola oil

💰Cheaper: peanut oil

Canola oil is healthier; peanut oil is often cheaper.

dipping sauce

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dip

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Drain pickles and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk until well combined.

Dip each pickle slice into the flour mixture, coating evenly.

Next, dip the coated pickle slice into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.

Return the pickle slice to the flour mixture, coating again for extra crunch.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

Carefully add the coated pickles to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove fried pickles with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
