  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for crisping the pickles perfectly.
  2. Dry Pickles: Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to thoroughly pat the pickle coins dry. Removing excess moisture helps the coating adhere better and promotes crispiness.
  3. Prepare Coatings: In a small bowl, whisk the egg until smooth. In a separate medium bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs ready for dredging.
  4. Coat Pickles: Dip each pickle coin first into the whisked egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs. Place coated pickles on a plate as you work to keep them ready for air frying.
  5. Drizzle with Oil: Lightly drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the coated pickles to help achieve a golden crisp during air frying.
  6. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space around each piece to ensure even cooking. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
  7. Air Fry Pickles: Air fry the pickles for 11 to 14 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on the pickles towards the end.
  8. Serve: Immediately serve the crispy air-fried pickles with remoulade sauce for dipping to enjoy at their best.

Notes

  • Ensure pickles are thoroughly dried before coating to prevent soggy crusts.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for the crispiest results.
  • Use extra-virgin olive oil or a light spray oil to help the panko crisp evenly.
  • Remoulade sauce pairs beautifully, but you can substitute with ranch dressing or aioli as preferred.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
