UN-FRIED PICKLES
Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to broil. Spray a cooling rack with nonstick cooking spray and place it on top of a baking sheet.
- Whisk the eggs with the flour, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Drain the dill pickles and pat dry with paper towels. Working in batches, toss the pickles in the egg mixture so they are fully coated. Remove the pickles, letting the excess egg drip off, and transfer to the breadcrumb mixture. Toss to fully coat. Spread the pickles out on the prepared cooling rack in a single layer (with none overlapping).
- Place the baking sheet on the middle rack in the oven and broil until the tops of the pickles are a crisp golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the pickles and continue to cook until crisp golden brown all over, about 4 minutes.
- Serve warm with the Diamond Sevens Ranch dressing.
- In a blender, blend the mayonnaise with the milk, vinegar, parsley, dill, salt, garlic powder, garlic salt, onion powder and black pepper until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Steps:
- Cover a plate with parchment paper or wax paper. In a shallow dish, combine buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Place pickles in mixture and set aside.
- Pour the flour, cornmeal, seafood seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning into a large, resealable plastic bag; shake to mix well. Add pickles a few at a time and tumble gently to coat evenly with the flour mixture. Remove and place on prepared plate.
- Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet.
- Fry pickles in several batches until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside with a moist interior, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine buttermilk ranch dressing with 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning; blend. Serve as a dipping sauce for warm pickles.

Tips:
- Use a mandoline to get evenly sliced pickles.
- Make sure the pickle slices are thin, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Soak the pickle slices in a saltwater brine for at least 30 minutes. This will help to remove some of the bitterness from the pickles.
- Use a paper towel to pat the pickle slices dry before dredging them in the coating.
- Use a light coating of bread crumbs or flour. Too much coating will make the pickles soggy.
- Shallow fry the pickles in a skillet over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Flip the pickles halfway through cooking, so that they brown evenly.
- Serve the pickles hot, with your favorite dipping sauce.

Un-fried pickles are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried pickles. They are crispy, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this tasty snack at home.
