Say goodbye to regular pickles and hello to their crispy, crunchy, tangy, salty upgrade with this pickle recipe! Why eat regular slices of dill pickles when you can eat fried pickles? They’re bite-sized and absolutely delicious when paired with dipping sauces! And since they only require 20 minutes to make, I like to fry these up when I need a quick snack to munch on or want something to eat during my Netflix binge.
Here’s what you’ll need
These air fryer-fried pickles require just 8 easy-to-find ingredients.
Dill Pickle Slices: One 16-oz jar should contain the perfect amount of dill pickle slices for this recipe. All-Purpose Flour: We will use all-purpose flour to help the panko breadcrumbs stick to the pickles. Egg: Whisked eggs are the glue holding the breading on the pickles. Panko Bread Crumbs: Panko breadcrumbs work best here. They’re light and crispy, making for air-fried pickles that more closely resemble deep-fried pickles. Seasonings: Dill, garlic powder, and black pepper add extra flavor! You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a kick. Optional Cheese: Feeling cheesy? Add some grated parmesan to the breading.
