Peperoni fritti alla napoletana

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Wash the bell peppers and slice them into strips.

In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

In another bowl, whisk together egg and water until smooth.

Dip each pepper strip into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the coated pepper strips in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Remove the fried peppers and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes while still hot.

In a small bowl, mix lemon juice and vinegar for dipping sauce.

Serve the fried peppers hot, garnished with parsley and parmesan cheese.
