Crispy Air Fryer Spicy Dill Pickle Fries

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Spicy Dill Pickle Fries.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious air-fried pickles, grab a mixing bowl and combine all-purpose flour with a sprinkle of paprika for a flavorful kick.

2. Step 2

   In another bowl, whisk together some milk and a beaten egg until they blend beautifully.

3. Step 3

   Now, in a third bowl, pour in the panko breadcrumbs, which will give your pickles that irresistible crunch.

4. Step 4

   Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) following the manufacturer's guidelines, so it's nice and hot when you're ready to cook.

5. Step 5

   Now, let’s get to the fun part! Take a pickle spear and first dredge it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.

6. Step 6

   Next, dip it into the egg mixture, letting any extra egg drip back into the bowl.

7. Step 7

   Finally, press the pickle into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure it’s fully coated for that perfect crunch.

8. Step 8

   Place the breaded pickles on a plate and repeat this process with the rest of your pickles.

9. Step 9

   Once all your pickles are breaded, give them a light spray with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the air fryer.

10. Step 10

    Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd it—this ensures they cook evenly and get that golden-brown finish.

11. Step 11

    You might need to work in batches if you have a lot.

12. Step 12

    Cook the pickles in your preheated air fryer for about 14 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.

13. Step 13

    Remember to turn them halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up perfectly on all sides.

    Once they’re done, you’ll have a delightful snack that’s sure to impress! Enjoy your crispy, air-fried pickles as a tasty appetizer or a fun party treat.
