Air Fryer Pickles
Description
Crispy air fryer pickles are crunchy, sweet, salty, and yummy! These easy, healthy air fried pickles are perfect for snacking and appetizers.
Ingredients
- 2 cups dill pickle chips
- ¼ cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- ⅓ cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for serving
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip optional for serving
Directions
- Spread the pickles out onto a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat as dry as possible.
- Set up your workstation: place the flour in a shallow bowl (a pie dish works well). In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the egg and water until well combined. In a third shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, Italian seasoning, cayenne, and salt. Arrange the plates in a line (flour, eggs, breadcrumbs). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Working a few pickles at a time, dredge the pickles in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs, shaking off excess as needed.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pickles.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. Generously coat the basket with nonstick spray. Arrange a single layer of pickles in the basket so that they do not overlap. Coat the top of the pickles with nonstick spray.
- Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, until dark golden and crisp (these cook fairly evenly so no need to flip halfway through unless you are a stickler). Remove the air fried pickles to a serving plate and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt. Enjoy hot.
