Ingredients
For the Fried Pickles
- 1 cup dill pickle slices Choose sandwich slices or spears.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten Acts as an egg wash.
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs For maximum crunch.
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt To enhance flavors.
- ½ tsp black pepper Adds a touch of spice.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each pickle slice into the flour, shake off excess, coat in the egg wash, and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture.
Cooking
- Arrange the coated pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
Serving
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or sriracha.
Notes
For healthier alternatives, use sugar-free pickles or plant-based eggs. Leftovers can be frozen for longer storage and reheated in the air fryer to maintain crunch.
