Easy Air Fryer Fried Pickles Recipe

Ingredients

• 16 oz dill pickle slices (chips or spears), drained and patted dry

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)

• Cooking spray (oil spray)

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep Pickles:
   Pat pickle slices dry with paper towels — this helps coating stick better.

2. Set Up Breading Stations:

   • In a shallow bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.

   • In another bowl, beat eggs.

   • In a third bowl, place panko breadcrumbs.

3. Coat Pickles:

   • Dip each pickle slice first in flour mixture, shaking off excess.

   • Then dip in beaten eggs.

   • Finally, coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.

4. Preheat Air Fryer:
   Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.

5. Air Fry Pickles:
   Arrange coated pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket — don’t overcrowd (cook in batches if needed).
   Spray lightly with cooking spray.
   Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:
   Serve immediately with ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce.

✅ Tips:

• For extra crispiness, double-dip the pickles through the egg and breadcrumbs again.

• Adjust seasoning in flour mix to your taste.

• Use thicker pickle slices or spears for a meatier bite.
