Ingredients

Scale

Here’s a complete list of the ingredients you’ll need, with precise measurements:

For the Pickles:

  • 1 cup sliced pickles (drained and patted dry)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or crushed pork rinds for a low-carb option)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra crispiness)
  • Cooking spray

For the Dip (Optional):

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup minced onions (the finer the better)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Dry Pickles

Lay down a couple of sheets of paper towels. Arrange the pickle slices on the paper towels in a single layer. Place more paper towels on top of the pickles and press gently to absorb excess moisture. Let them dry for a few minutes. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy coating.

Step 2: Prepare Breading Station

Set up your breading station with three shallow dishes:

  • Dish 1: In the first dish, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
  • Dish 2: In the second dish, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of pickle juice.
  • Dish 3: In the third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese (if using).

Step 3: Bread Pickles

Working one at a time, dredge a pickle slice in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Dip the pickle slice into the egg wash, making sure it’s fully coated.

Coat the pickle slice in the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Transfer the breaded pickle to a baking sheet (optional, but helps with organization). Repeat with the remaining pickle slices.

Step 4: Preheat Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5: Air Fry Pickles

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Arrange the breaded pickle chips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, with some space between each pickle. Don’t overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary.

Lightly spray the tops of the pickles with cooking spray for extra crispiness.

Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Make Dip (Optional)

While the pickles are air frying, make the dipping sauce (if desired). In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, minced onions, minced garlic, and dried dill (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 7: Serve

Remove the Air Fryer Pickle Chips from the air fryer and serve immediately with ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.

Enjoy these crispy, tangy, and flavorful treats!
