Instructions
Making easy air fryer fried pickles is a simple and straightforward process. Follow these step-by-step instructions to create this delicious snack:
1. Prepare the Pickles: Remove the pickle slices from the jar and place them on paper towels to drain excess liquid. Pat them dry for best results.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In three shallow bowls, set up the breading station: one with flour, another with a beaten egg, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Pickles: Dip each pickle slice into the flour, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Dip in Egg: Next, dip the flour-coated pickles into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Finally, roll the pickles in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure they stick well.
6. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
7. Arrange Pickles in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated pickles in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch.
8. Air Fry the Pickles: Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
9. Repeat: Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches. Repeat the frying process until all the pickles are cooked.
10. Serve Warm: Once cooked, remove the pickles from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
