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: Opt for thicker pickle spears to ensure they hold their shape during air frying. Avoid using thin or flimsy pickles as they may become too crispy or break apart.
  • Prepare the Pickles: Before coating the pickles, pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the coating adhere better and prevents the pickles from becoming soggy.
  • Use a Flavorful Coating: The coating is what gives these pickle fries their delicious taste. Make sure to use a combination of spices and herbs that you enjoy. The recipe provided in the article offers a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and dill weed, but you can adjust the spices to suit your preferences.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Air Fryer Basket: To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook the pickle fries in batches if necessary.
  • Keep an Eye on the Pickles: Air fryer cooking times can vary depending on the type of air fryer and the thickness of the pickle slices. Keep a close eye on the pickle fries to prevent them from overcooking and becoming too crispy.
