For a tangy, salty, delicious snack, Air Fryer Fried Pickles do the trick. These dill slices are coated in a crispy panko breading and air fried to perfection.
Dry Pickles: Strain pickles from juice and lay in a single layer on a few layers of paper towels. Pat them dry well.
Prep Station: Place flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk egg in another shallow bowl. Combine panko and seasonings (+ optional cheese) in a separate shallow bowl. Set a large plate at the end.
Dredge: Working in small batches, coat each pickle lightly in flour, then egg, then panko. Set coated pickles on the plate until you're finished coating them all.
Cook: Transfer pickles to your air fryer, arranging them in a single layer (you may need to work in batches). Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown* and crispy. Taste and sprinkle with salt if needed before serving hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
*Not browning? If you notice your fried pickles aren't turning nice and golden, spritz them with sprayable cooking oil on both sides (or lightly brush them with olive oil) and continue cooking for a few minutes.
Make fried onions in the oven by baking them at 425°F (218°C) for 10 to 15 minutes.
