Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 156kcal
Ingredients
- 3 medium-large dill pickles, sliced into 1/4-inch chips
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Slice 3 medium-large dill pickles, sliced into 1/4-inch chips and lay them on a paper towel. Let them sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then pat the tops dry.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a second small bowl, whisk 2 large eggs.
- Put 1 cup panko breadcrumbs in a third small bowl.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Coat each pickle chip lightly in the seasoned flour, dip both sides in the egg and let the excess drip off, then press into the panko so the crumbs stick on all sides. Repeat with the remaining pickles, working in batches if needed.
- Arrange the breaded pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket and brush the tops with vegetable oil.
- Air fry for 5 to 6 minutes, then flip, brush with more oil, and air fry another 5 to 6 minutes, until golden brown. Timing varies a little depending on your air fryer.
- Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Make ahead by breading the pickles a few hours in advance and refrigerating, then air fry before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350 to 375 degrees F to re-crisp.
