Ingredients
- For the Pickles:
- 1 cup sliced pickles (dill or any kind you prefer)
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (Tabasco or your favorite)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- For the Dip:
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup minced onions (finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
Instructions
- Dry the Pickles: Lay out a couple of sheets of paper towels. Place the pickles on one sheet and cover them with another sheet. Let them sit for a few minutes to dry and ensure the egg wash sticks.
- Prepare the Egg Wash: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, flour, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Pickles: In another shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs. Working one pickle at a time, dip it into the egg wash, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Transfer the breaded pickles to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pickles.
- Air Fry the Pickles: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Add the pickles to the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each. Spray with oil and air-fry for 5-7 minutes. Flip the pickles, spray with more oil, and air-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the Dip: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, minced onions, garlic, and optional dried dill. Stir until well combined.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the crispy pickles with the dip and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your spice preference.
- For a more savory dip, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder.
- Serve with additional dipping sauces like ranch or spicy ketchup for extra flavor variety.
