Ingredients

  • 2 cups (320g) sliced pickles
  • 1 cup (240g) buttermilk mixed with a dash of Franks hot seasoning (optional)
  • 1 cup (125g) breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup (23g) grated parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ⅓ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 400 degrees F / 200 degrees C.
  2. Pat the pickles dry.
  3. Put seasoned buttermilk in a bowl.
  4. Mix together breadcrumbs, cheese and seasonings in another bowl.
  5. Working quickly dip pickles in buttermilk mix, shake to drip off excess buttermilk, dredge both sides of the pickle in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture and add to basket.
  6. Keep working quickly to fill the basket, insert the basket into the Air Fryer and fry for 8-10 minutes.
  7. About 3 minutes before they’re done, lightly spray the pickles with spray oil so that the breadcrumbs can crisp up and become golden brown.
  8. Repeat by breading the rest of the pickles and continuing to fry in batches until finished.

Notes

  • You may need to do this in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your Air Fryer.
  • You can use pre-sliced pickles or slice the pickles yourself.
  • You can slice your pickles into wedges rather than round versions if you want or buy either pre-cut version. 
  • You may want to split your seasoned breadcrumb mixture into 2 bowls as your 1 bowl of seasonings may start to clump together and get soggy from all the dredging of buttermilk coated pickles. 
  • Serve warm or they’ll get soggy if you wait to enjoy them.
  • Use shallow bowls to dredge the pickle chips in. 
  • Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, so it is important to always check your food for doneness.
