Description

Craving perfectly crispy fried pickles without the oil? Our Easy Air Fryer recipe delivers! Tangy dill, coated in seasoned panko, emerges golden and crunchy.


Ingredients

  • Dill Pickle SlicesOpt for good quality, firm dill pickle slices, preferably thick-cut, as they hold up better to the air frying process and offer a satisfying bite. Ensure they are well-drained to prevent a soggy outcome.
  • All-Purpose FlourThis forms the foundational layer for our crispy breading, providing a dry surface for the egg wash to adhere to.
  • Large EggsWhisked eggs act as the binding agent, helping the breadcrumbs stick to the pickle slices for that perfect coating.
  • BreadcrumbsChoose plain or panko breadcrumbs for maximum crispiness; panko offers an extra airy and crunchy texture that is highly recommended for this recipe.
  • SeasoningsA blend of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper will elevate the flavor profile, adding depth and a subtle kick to your pickles.
  • Cooking SprayA light mist of oil is essential for achieving that golden-brown color and irresistible crispiness in the air fryer, ensuring even cooking and a beautiful finish.

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Pickles and Breading Stations
  2. Step 2: Dredge the Pickles
  3. Step 3: Arrange in Air Fryer
  4. Step 4: Air Fry to Golden Perfection

Notes

  • While these fried pickles are absolutely best enjoyed fresh and hot, any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though they may lose some crispness.
  • To bring back that glorious crunch, reheat refrigerated fried pickles in your air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, or until nicely re-crisped and warmed through.
  • Elevate your snack experience by serving these warm, crispy bites alongside a creamy ranch dressing, a zesty sriracha mayo, or even a homemade dill dip for an extra flavor boost!
  • For a truly unbeatable crispy crust, make sure your pickle slices are patted exceptionally dry with paper towels before you start dredging; excess moisture is the biggest enemy of a perfectly crunchy coating.
