Description
A crispy, tangy snack that’s perfect for game day, movie night, or casual gatherings. Using an air fryer makes them lighter than traditional fried pickles while keeping that irresistible crunch.
Ingredients
-
1 (16-ounce) jar dill pickle chips, drained and patted dry
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
1¼ cups panko breadcrumbs
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
Cooking spray
Instructions
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
-
Spread pickle chips on a paper towel and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
-
Prepare three shallow bowls:
-
Bowl 1: Combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Bowl 2: Beat the eggs.
-
Bowl 3: Add panko breadcrumbs.
-
-
Coat each pickle: first in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the panko until fully coated.
-
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange pickles in a single layer without overlapping.
-
Spray tops of pickles lightly with cooking spray.
-
Cook 7–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
-
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
-
Pat pickles dry to ensure the coating sticks and stays crisp.
-
Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter, crunchier texture.
-
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer; cook in batches if needed.
-
Serve hot for maximum crispiness and flavor.
