Ingredients
  

For the Fried Pickles
  • 1 jar Your favorite dill pickles Dill is classic, but you can use bread and butter pickles for a sweeter taste.
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour For dredging the pickles.
  • 2 large Eggs Lightly beaten for the egg wash.
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs For that signature crispy crunch.
  • 1 tbsp Garlic powder For added flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Paprika For additional seasoning.
  • to taste Cayenne pepper Optional, for some heat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer at 400°F (200°C).
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with lightly beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne.
  3. Take pickles from the jar and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Coating
  1. Dip each pickle in the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  2. Arrange the coated pickles in a single, non-overlapping layer in the air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crunchy.
  2. For extra crispiness, add an extra minute or two.

Notes

Serve with ranch dip or blue cheese dressing. For a fun twist, add these on top of burgers or BBQ sandwiches. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer for optimal crispness.
