Ingredients
- 24 oz. jar dill pickles about 5-6
- ¼ cup flour gluten-free 1-to-1
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp. milk oat, cashew, or soy
- 1 cup breadcrumbs plain*
- ½ tsp. paprika
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ¾ - 1 tsp. salt to taste
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Slice Pickles: Cut pickles into ¼-inch slices, discarding the ends.
- Coat the Pickles: In three separate shallow bowls, prepare the following: Bowl 1: Add flour. Bowl 2: Add egg and milk. Whisk until well combined. Bowl 3: Add breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until combined. Dip one pickle slice in the flour mixture and shake off any excess flour, dredge in the egg wash, and then coat with the breadcrumbs. Repeat this process with the remaining pickle slices.
- Cook in Air Fryer: Place half of the coated pickle slices in a single layer in a 6-quart Air Fryer basket. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Air Fry at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Flip the pickles halfway through cooking. Repeat with the remaining pickles slices.
- Serve air fried pickles with Ranch Dressing, Special Sauce, or Sriracha Mayo.

Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- Slice the pickles in advance to save time. You can also completely make them and save for later.
- Storage Directions:
- Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freezing is not recommended as the coating will get soggy. To reheat, pop them back in the Air Fryer at 350° for 2-3 minutes.
- Recipe Tips:
- Slice 'em right. Get as close to ¼-inch as possible for the best crumb to pickle ratio.
- Spritz it good. Don't forget the non-stick cooking spray. It gives the crust a beautiful golden color and prevents them from drying out.
- Use separate forks. Designate a different fork for each bowl so they don't get dirty.
- 3 bowls is best. The flour, egg wash, and breadcrumb method ensures the coating actually sticks to the pickles.
- Serve it with sauce. These taste great on their own, but even better when paired with a homemade sauce!
