Crispy, golden air fryer fried pickles make a delicious and easy snack or appetizer. Coated in a crunchy breadcrumb shell and cooked to perfection in the air fryer, these pickles are tangy, salty, and satisfyingly crisp without the excess oil of traditional frying.

Ingredients

Scale

Pickles

  • 16 dill pickle slices, drained

Breading

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dipping stations: In one bowl, whisk the egg with water to create an egg wash. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This sets up the coating process for the pickles.
  2. Coat the pickles: Dip each pickle slice into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated. Then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides evenly. Repeat for all pickle slices.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes before cooking the pickles. This ensures a crispy, even cook.
  4. Air fry the pickles: Arrange the breaded pickle slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve warm: Carefully remove the fried pickles from the basket and serve them immediately while hot and crispy. They pair perfectly with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure pickles are well-drained and patted dry to prevent soggy breading.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
  • You can double coat by dipping the pickle in egg and breadcrumbs twice for a thicker crust.
  • Adjust cooking time depending on your air fryer model and basket size.
  • Serves well with ranch or spicy mayo dips.
