Years ago these were popular in Ohio, a great bell pepper State! Even before Onion Rings, then someone made Onion rings and you never saw green pepper rings again! They are so delicious I can't believe there is not a food service provider that doesn't sell these to restaurants. Great to dip in ranch sauce but I can think of some tasty newer things for dipping. Balsamic, teriyaki and olive oil would be delicious too!

I have done these with beer batter in the past the where a huge hit at my party. also used jalapenos they where also a major hit

I gotta try the jalapenos,do you just use a beer batter for those,or have you got a secret batter?

The Jalapenos end up having the same consistency as the bell peppers!! Delicious outcome.. i used a Chipotle Batter instead of Beer even though the Beer batter has a fluffy crustiness to it, the Chipotle brings the MAD flavor.
here is the tasty Chipotle recipe

I think there are a lot of things that are considered healthy by themselves processed into stuff we all enjoy each day and it is not a CRIME! For crying out loud, this is such a cool instructable and I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for developing it and sharing it. It got my vote.

The bell pepper "becomes" sweet and soft? Soft maybe, but the last time I checked, orange bell peppers start out sweet, and they're a hell of a lot better for you fresh. Way to kill a perfectly good nutritious vegetable with old fashioned cooking.
