Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Dill pickle slices (chips) – about 20 slices
  • Flour – 1/2 cup
  • Eggs – 2 large, beaten
  • Panko breadcrumbs – 1 cup
  • Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika – 1 teaspoon
  • Nonstick spray or oil – for spraying

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Gather all ingredients and set up a three-bowl station—one containing the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. This will make the breading process quick and efficient.
  2. Coat the Pickle Slices: Dip each pickle slice first into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip into the beaten eggs to coat evenly. Finally, press the slices into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring every edge is thoroughly covered for maximum crispiness.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes. Preheating helps the pickles crisp up perfectly once inside.
  4. Arrange and Cook: Place the coated pickle slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Lightly spray them with nonstick spray to promote golden browning. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness on both sides.
  5. Serve Immediately: Remove the pickles from the air fryer when golden and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch or spicy mayo for an irresistible snack experience.

Notes

  • Use paper towels to pat pickles dry before coating; this prevents sogginess and ensures maximum crispness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; allow space for proper air circulation and even cooking.
  • Spray lightly with oil to achieve a golden and crunchy finish without excess greasiness.
  • Flip the pickles halfway through cooking for an even crisp on all sides.
  • Panko breadcrumbs are recommended for a standout crispy texture and light crunch.
