How to Make Fried Capers
  1. Add vegetable or olive oil to a small saucepan, filling it about ⅛ inch deep.
  2. Gently warm the oil over medium heat until it shimmers, reaching about 350°F.
  3. Carefully drain the capers from their brine and pat them dry with paper towels or a kitchen towel.
  4. Toss the dried capers into the hot oil in batches, ensuring they have enough space to fry evenly.
  5. Fry the capers for about 2-3 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, carefully take the fried capers out of the oil and let them drain on a paper towel.
  7. Allow the capers to rest for a few minutes before using.
  8. If there's any left, store the fried capers in a covered container at room temperature for several days.
