These air fryer fried pickles are a crispy, crunchy, and addictive appetizer perfect for snacking or serving at parties. Made with dill pickle coins coated in panko breadcrumbs and air fried to golden perfection, they offer a healthier alternative to traditional fried pickles. Served best with a tangy remoulade sauce, these pickles are easy to prepare and deliciously satisfying.

Ingredients

Pickles and Coating

  • 1 (16-ounce) jar dill pickle coins, drained
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Dipping Sauce

  • Remoulade sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 370°F and allow it to preheat while you prepare the pickles.
  2. Dry the Pickles: Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, gently pat the drained pickle coins dry to remove excess moisture, which helps the coating adhere better and crisp up.
  3. Prepare Egg Wash and Coating: In a small bowl, whisk the egg thoroughly. In a separate medium bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs ready for dipping.
  4. Coat the Pickles: Dip each dried pickle coin first into the whisked egg, then coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs. Lay the coated pickles on a plate as you work.
  5. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the coated pickles with extra-virgin olive oil to aid in browning and crispiness during air frying.
  6. Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place pickles in a single layer with space around each to ensure even air circulation. Avoid overcrowding the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  7. Air Fry to Crisp: Cook the pickles in the preheated air fryer for 11 to 14 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model.
  8. Serve: Remove the fried pickles carefully and serve immediately with remoulade sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Patting the pickles dry is essential to achieve a crispy coating.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cooking in batches ensures even cooking.
  • If you prefer a spicier option, try serving with chipotle sauce or chipotle ranch dressing.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer’s performance for best results.
