Ingredients
  

  • 20 sliced pickles
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ¾ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil spray
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill (finely chopped)

Instructions
 

  • Add the flour with the egg and buttermilk to a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl add the panko breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. 
  • Dip your pickles in the flour mixture one at a time.
  • Next dip and press your pickles into the panko breadcrumbs and make sure to cover completely.
  • Spray the bottom of the air fryer then add your coated sliced pickles. Spray once again with oil on top. 
  • Cook 380 degrees F for 10 minutes, turning your pickles halfway through the cooking time.
  • Serve and sprinkle with fresh dill on top. 

Notes

Tip: Buttermilk really gives them that nice tangy flavor. If you do not have buttermilk, you can mix 1 cup of milk with 1 teaspoon on white vinegar together to make buttermilk.
How to serve Fried Pickles:
Ideally you want to serve these immediately. Fried Pickles are the best when served hot. If you do plan on cooking a large batch, once they are all done in the air fryer you can rewarm them all in the oven. Turn your oven on to 375 degrees and reheat for 3 minutes to keep them crispy.
What should I serve with Fried Pickles?
I love Fried Pickles and Ranch Dressing. It is probably the best combo for these. You can use ketchup, which is what my kids do. A spicy Ranch or Chipotle Ranch would be nice as well.
