Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups dill pickles, sliced into chips or spears
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp dried dill weed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • air fryer
  • Three bowls For flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixtures
  • tongs For flipping and handling pickles
  • paper towels To dry pickles before coating

Method
 

  1. Drain the dill pickles and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each pickle slice into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it in the panko mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  5. Place the coated pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them for even cooking.
  6. Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Keep leftover pickles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispness. You can freeze uncooked, coated pickles — just fry from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
