AIR FRYER FRIED PICKLES

Get crispy, crunchy fried pickles with barely any oil.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 16-ounce jar dill pickle chips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 cup buttermilk
A couple of dashes hot sauce
1 1/2 cups panko
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • For the pickles: Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 390 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
  • Drain the pickles and spread them out on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Pat dry with more paper towels, pressing gently to remove as much moisture as possible. Eliminate any pickles with large holes or ones that are very thin.
  • Set up a breading station using 3 medium bowls: Whisk together the flour, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning in one bowl. In the second bowl combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. In the last combine the panko, Italian seasoning, the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle in the oil and use your hands to toss and coat the panko.
  • Working in small batches, bread the pickles: First, toss a handful of pickles in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dunk them in the buttermilk mixture to completely coat, shaking to remove any excess. Finally, toss them in the panko, pressing gently to make it adhere. Arrange the breaded pickles on the prepared baking sheet and repeat until all the pickles are breaded.
  • Arrange one-third of the breaded pickles in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes, the pickles will be very crunchy and browned on both sides. Remove to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining two batches of pickles.
  • For the dipping sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish and Cajun seasoning in small bowl.
  • Serve the warm pickles with the dipping sauce or use them and the dipping sauce to top your favorite burger.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pickles. Not all pickles are created equal. For the best results, choose pickles that are firm and crisp, with a good amount of flavor. Gherkins, dill pickles, and bread and butter pickles are all good choices.
  • Slice the pickles evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the air fryer. If you have a mandoline slicer, this is a great way to get evenly sliced pickles. If not, use a sharp knife to slice the pickles to about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Coat the pickles in a little oil. This will help them crisp up in the air fryer. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or even cooking spray.
  • Season the pickles. You can season the pickles with any spices or herbs that you like. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder. You can also add a little bit of salt and pepper.
  • Air fry the pickles. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the pickles are crispy and browned.
  • Serve the pickles. Air fryer pickles can be served as a snack, an appetizer, or a side dish. They are also great on burgers, sandwiches, and salads.

Conclusion:

Air fryer pickles are a delicious and easy snack that can be made in just a few minutes. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick and easy snack. With a little experimentation, you can find the perfect combination of spices and seasonings to create your own unique air fryer pickle recipe.
