1-Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat, making sure it reaches the right temperature without boiling over aim for that sizzle when you test it.

2-In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to build your base mix.

3-Add the eggs and whisk everything together until it forms a smooth batter that coats the spoon nicely.

4-Stir in the beer or your chosen alternative until the batter is even and ready for dipping.

5-Dip the jalapeno slices into the batter in batches so they get fully covered without clumping.

6-Fry each batch for about 5-6 minutes, turning them as needed until they’re golden and crispy all around.

7-Drain the fried jalapenos on paper towels and give them a light sprinkle of salt while they’re still hot for extra flavor.

8-Serve immediately to enjoy that fresh crunch at its best.
