Description
These Air Fryer Fried Pickles are a crispy, tangy snack that’s easy to make and healthier than traditional deep-fried versions. Perfect for game days or as a unique appetizer, they deliver all the crunch without the grease.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dill pickle slices
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Lay the pickle slices on a paper towel and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, add the flour.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
- In a third bowl, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Dip each pickle slice into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture.
- Place the coated pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Lightly spray the pickles with cooking spray.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Ensure pickles are thoroughly dried to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bread crumb mixture.
- Serve with ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or your preferred dipping sauce.
