Ingredients
Scale
Pickle Slices
- 1 cup dill pickle slices
Coating
- 1/2 cup all-purpose breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- Optional: 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: 1/4 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until smooth. In another shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs with optional garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper for added flavor.
- Coat the Pickle Slices: Dip each pickle slice first into the beaten egg to coat completely, then dredge it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly covered.
- Preheat and Arrange: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Place the coated pickle slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap to ensure even crisping.
- Air Fry: Cook the pickles at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
- Serve: Carefully remove the fried pickles from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or spicy mayo.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double coat the pickles by dipping again in egg and breadcrumbs before air frying.
- Use dill pickles with moderate thickness to avoid sogginess and ensure even cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on the thickness of pickle slices and brand/model of air fryer.
- These can be made gluten-free by substituting gluten-free breadcrumbs.
