Air Fryer Fried Pickles (Printable Format)

Crisp, golden pickles cooked in the air fryer, paired with a creamy dipping sauce for extra flavor.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ For the pickles

01 - 1 cup sliced pickles
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
04 - 1 tablespoon hot sauce such as Tabasco
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

→ For the dip

08 - 1/4 cup sour cream
09 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 - 1/4 cup minced onions
13 - 1 clove garlic, minced
14 - 1 teaspoon dried dill

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Lay several paper towels on a flat surface. Spread sliced pickles over the towels and cover with additional towels. Allow pickles to dry for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
02 - Whisk eggs, flour, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow dish until smooth.
03 - Place panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
04 - Dip each dried pickle slice into the egg mixture, then fully coat with panko breadcrumbs. Transfer coated pickles to a baking sheet.
05 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the coated pickles in a single layer, leaving a small gap between each. Lightly spray with oil and air fry for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip pickles, spritz again with oil, and continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until they become golden and crisp.
06 - In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, minced onions, minced garlic, and dried dill until thoroughly mixed.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best crispness, ensure pickles are thoroughly dried before coating and air frying.
