Description
Crispy, tangy, and utterly addictive, these Easy Air Fryer Fried Pickles are a must-try! Coated in seasoned flour and panko, they’re perfect for snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dill pickle slices (drained and patted dry)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray (for air frying)
Instructions
- Step 1: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the pickles.
- Step 2: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat the two eggs until well mixed.
- Step 4: Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Take each pickle slice, first coat it in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Step 5: Arrange the breaded pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray them with cooking spray to help achieve that golden crispiness. Air fry for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Step 6: Once done, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store leftover fried pickles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, place the pickles back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes to regain their crispiness. Serve your fried pickles with a side of ranch dressing or spicy mayo for an extra flavor kick that complements their tangy goodness. For an extra crunch, consider using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs, and don’t skip the cooking spray—it's key to achieving that perfectly golden crust!
