Description
This flavorful and crispy gluten-free fish and chips make the perfect meal, especially when you’re craving something a little tastier and fun during the warmer months. Totally dairy-free too. I’ll show you how to cook it in the air fryer as well as stovetop!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into strips
- 4 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/3 teaspoon ground coriander
- 4 pieces cod fish
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons gluten-free panko bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer or Frying Pan: Preheat the air fryer to 380F (for 5 minutes). If you don’t own an air fryer, simply heat up 1 cup of cooking oil in a large frying pan.
- Mix Potatoes with Oil and Salt: Toss the sliced potatoes with the olive oil. Sprinkle salt over and mix again until evenly coated.
- Cook Potatoes: (i) Air Fryer Method: Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in about a single layer. Fry for 15 minutes. Shake the potatoes in the air fryer basket and fry for another 10 minutes then set aside. (ii) Stovetop Method: Fry the seasoned potatoes for 10 minutes over medium-high heat in the heated oil before flipping them over and frying for another 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove the potatoes and set aside.
- Mix Flour and Condiments: Mix gluten-free all-purpose flour with the salt, ground paprika and ground coriander.
- Coat Fish in Flour Mixture: Coat the fish fillets evenly in the flour mixture.
- Dip Fish in Egg: Beat the egg in a bowl and dip the flour-coated cod in the beaten egg.
- Coat Fish in Panko: Coat the egg-dipped cod in the gluten-free panko crumbs until each piece is completely coated.
- Fry the Cod: (i) Air Fryer Method: Place the coated cod pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry the cod for 7 minutes, then turn the fish pieces over, spray with more cooking spray and fry for another 5 minutes. (ii) Stovetop Method: Heat up another 1/4 cup of oil in the same frying pan and fry the pieces of panko-coated fish for 5 minutes over medium-high heat on one side before flipping over and frying for another 5 minutes until fish is cooked through and the outside is golden brown.
- Add Potatoes: (i) Air Fryer Method: Add the potatoes to the air fryer and fry them all together for another 3 minutes. (ii) Stovetop Method: Add the potatoes to the frying pan and fry them all together for another 3 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the gluten-free fish and chips hot with your favorite sauce (ketchup, chili sauce or mayonnaise).
Notes
Olive Oil: I used olive oil for tossing the potatoes, but you can also use another type of vegetable oil (such as sunflower oil, canola oil, avocado oil etc).
Potatoes: I used Yukon gold potatoes, but Russet potatoes will work too.
Gluten-Free Flour: I recommend using a good-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that is made up of lighter flours/starches (such as rice flour, tapioca starch, corn starch or potato starch). I do NOT recommend using a gluten-free flour blend that includes heavier flours (such as garbanzo bean flour) which will result in a denser coating. If you are not Celiac or gluten-intolerant, go ahead and use regular all-purpose flour instead.
Spices: I used ground paprika and ground coriander to season the fish. Alternatively, you may also use other condiments that you prefer (such as garlic powder, onion powder or ground black pepper).
Fish: Traditionally, cod fish tends to be the fish of choice for making fish and chips, but you can also use haddock fish or other types of flavorful white fish.
Egg: The egg is essential in binding the ingredients together, so make sure you add it in. If you are allergic to eggs, or would simply prefer to keep this recipe egg-free, you may use acquafaba or an egg-replacer instead.
Gluten-Free Panko Crumbs: I like coating the fish with gluten-free panko bread crumbs for a super crispy effect. You can simply coat them in another layer of gluten-free all-purpose flour if you prefer. Alternatively, if you are not Celiac or gluten-intolerant, go ahead and use regular panko bread crumbs instead.
Storing: To store, place any leftover fish and chips in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 350F for a few minutes to heat up the fish and chips again until they are crispy before serving.
