Texas Roadhouse Rattlesnake Bites [0000545]

Ingredients:

1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup buttermilk (or dairy-free alternative)
12-15 jalapeño peppers, sliced into rounds and seeds removed
Creamy gluten-free ranch dressing, for dipping

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Pour the buttermilk into another bowl.

Dip each jalapeño slice into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.

Coat the jalapeño slice in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's well covered. Place it on a baking sheet.

Repeat this process for all the jalapeño slices.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully place the coated jalapeño slices into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried jalapeño slices and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serve your gluten-free Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rattlesnake Bites with creamy gluten-free ranch dressing for dipping.
