Crunchy Breaded Fried Pickles In An Air Fryer Food

AIR FRYER PICKLES

Steps:

• First, cut the pickles into quarters lengthwise. Then pat them dry really well with a paper towel.
• Now prepare the "breading station". Grab three clean and dry plates - place flour on one plate, the cracked and whisked eggs on another, and breadcrumbs on the last plate.
• Add the spices - salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper - to the breadcrumbs and mix until the spices are well combined in the breadcrumbs.
• Grab one pickle spear and dip it into the flour. Rotate the pickle until it is fully coated. Next, dip the pickle into the whisked egg mixture and roll it around until the flour layer is fully coated in the egg. Lift the pickle spear, let the excess egg drip off, and then place it on the plate with the breadcrumbs. Roll the pickle around in the breadcrumbs until it is fully coated. Lastly, place the coated pickle spear onto a clean plate and repeat all these steps until all pickle spears are breaded.
• Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
• While still on the plate, spray half of the pickles with avocado oil spray.
• When the air fryer is hot, add the first batch of the breaded pickles. There should be some space between them so that they can cook evenly and get crispy. If you have a really big air fryer, you might be able to cook all pickles at once - otherwise, just cook them in two batches.
• Cook the pickles for 6 minutes, then flip them over. You can add more oil spray if you want them to be extra crispy. Cook for another 3-4 minutes (so 9-10 minutes total). Every air fryer is different, so cook time can vary slightly.
• Remove the done pickles from the air fryer. Then spray the second batch of the pickles with oil and place them into the air fryer to cook.
• Serve the crispy pickles with a dipping sauce like ranch!

Steps:

• Drain the pickle spears on paper towels and set aside.
• Set up 3 shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first. Place the egg and water in the second and whisk to combine. Place the bread crumbs, cornmeal, oregano, salt, and pepper in the third bowl and mix up with a fork to combine.
• Take the basket or crisper plate out of the air fryer and spray it with a little olive oil. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.
• Working in batches, coat the pickles with flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Place them in a single layer in the basket or on the plate. Give them a light spray of oil. Put these in the air fryer and cook until the coating is golden brown and crispy, approximately 6 to 10 minutes. Keep an eye on these, as they can cook quickly.
• Serve immediately with napkins and a dipping sauce. Sauce recipes follow.
