FULL STORY ======================================================================

Pickles are one of those foods that you either love them or hate them. Youre either the one picking them out of your burger, or the one collecting the extras and Im firmly in the second camp. So when I came across this air fryer fried pickle recipe, I knew I had to give them a go.

Ive been testing the best air fryers for years and Ive never thought to make fried pickles. Despite having coated and fried just about any and all meats and vegetables I can think of. Theyre incredibly versatile and you can coat them in all sorts of spices and different types of crumbs. I like dipping
mine in sriracha mayonnaise but theyre also perfect with burger sauce.

Theyre great for sharing with friends or on your own and they come together
in about 15 minutes. I made mine in a Ninja Foodi Max Air Fryer but whichever model youre using the method stays the same simple, consistent, and maybe even enough to convert any pickle-skeptic friends. Ingredients (Image credit: Victoria Woollaston)

I havent included exact measurements below as I recommend you make these pickles according to your own tastes . Im not great with spice, for example, so I use less chilli but more garlic. It also depends on how many pickles youre frying, so feel free to experiment. Pickle slices Flour Garlic powder Paprika Onion powder Chili powder Salt 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or crushed cornflakes) Equipment Air fryer I used the Ninja Foodi Max Cooking spray Method

Preheat your air fryer to 380 F / 190 C. While it heats up, slice your
pickles into thick rounds or spears and pat them dry with paper towels. This step helps the coating stick and keeps the pickles from turning soggy. You
can use jar pickles and thats my preferred type but just make sure you dry them a little longer. 2. Set up your coatings (Image credit: Victoria Woollaston)

In one bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, chili powder, and salt. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. Add the panko breadcrumbs to a third bowl. This three-step setup gives you a light but crispy coating for your pickles. 3. Bread the pickles (Image credit: Victoria Woollaston)

Working a few at a time to avoid creating an eggy/floury paste coat each pickle slice in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to help the crumbs stick to the pickles (the finer the crumbs, the better), then put each
picking in your air fryer. 4. Air fry until golden (Image credit: Victoria Woollaston)

Lightly spray the pickles with cooking spray. Air fry for eight minutes, then flip each pickle over, spray again, and cook for another four minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the basket and try not to open the lid too many times to get a good, golden crunch. 5. Serve
immediately (Image credit: Victoria Woollaston)

Carefully remove the fried pickles from the basket and let them cool for a minute or two. Serve hot with ranch, spicy mayo my favorite is sriracha mayo
or your go-to dip like burger sauce or even houmous.
