Recipe Summary

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 jar of dill pickle slices
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended for extra crunch)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Cooking spray
• 1/2 cup ranch or your favorite dipping sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl. Beat the eggs in the second bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt in the third bowl.
4. Coat each pickle slice in the flour, shaking off any excess.
5. Dip the flour-coated pickle slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
6. Press the pickle slice into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides. Repeat with all pickle slices.
7. Generously spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Lay the breaded pickle slices in a single layer in the basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
8. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
9. Serve immediately with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.

Helpful Tips

• For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
• Use cornmeal instead of breadcrumbs for a different texture.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, these can be baked at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover air-fried pickles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat and maintain crispiness, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 3-4 minutes.

Suggested Pairings

• Serve with tangy coleslaw for a refreshing contrast.
• Pair with iced tea or lemonade for a summer vibe.
• Complement with homemade burgers or sandwiches for a full meal.
