excellent

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

[spylock]

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

[Bean and Cheese Stout]

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

Thanks,I love em,and eat them like they were they are a side dish,but have often wondered if I might make them better.I think you just schooled me.Im diong a "T" bone and jalapenos,with my great potato wedge resipe this Monday,and will try the bell peppers next friday,as soon as I can think of a main dish for them.Thanks again for the idea and the link.

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.

[Bean and Cheese Stout]

Thank you very much Kind Sir! I couldn't agree with you any more... These tasty treats would be great after a bike ride ;P ya know, to even things out. Thanks for the feedback man, best comment ever!!

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.

[Bean and Cheese Stout]

You're welcome!! Way to comment when nobody cares what you really say!! .. by the way, that's the whole aspect of frying.. delicious and non-nutrious 8) have fun eating hard natural rabbit pellets.

[wold630]

[Bean and Cheese Stout]

You're welcome!! May i add that they're easy peasy to make & take up almost no time to prep & fry.. a neat way to get the kids to eat their veggies. Have fUn!!
