Ingredients

Pickle and Coating Ingredients

  • 2 cups dill pickle slices
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Pat Dry Pickles: Lay the pickle slices on a paper towel and gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This step helps the coating stick better and ensures crispiness during air frying.
  2. Prepare Coating Stations: Set up three small bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg mixed with water, and one with a breadcrumb mixture combining bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. This organized setup speeds up the dipping process.
  3. Coat the Pickles: Dip each pickle slice first in the flour, then into the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each slice is evenly coated for best results.
  4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated pickles in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping to allow hot air to circulate and crisp them evenly.
  5. Air Fry: Cook the pickles at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Check halfway through and shake the basket gently if needed for even cooking.
  6. Serve: Remove the pickles from the air fryer and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch or spicy mayo, for a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Patting the pickles dry is crucial to avoid soggy coating.
  • Use regular or panko bread crumbs depending on desired crunchiness.
  • Italian seasoning can be substituted with your favorite herbs or spices to customize flavor.
  • Cook in batches if your air fryer basket is small to avoid overcrowding.
  • Allow pickles to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth.
