Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz dill pickle chips drained and patted dry
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs large, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs panko preferred
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • cooking spray for air fryer
  • ranch dressing for serving

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Drain pickle chips and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Place flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third.
  3. Dip each pickle chip first in flour, then in egg, then coat with breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Place breaded pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  5. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Remove and let cool slightly. Serve hot with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Patting the pickles dry is crucial for crispiness. For extra crunch, double-dip in egg and breadcrumbs before air frying.
