Ingredients

Fried Pickles Recipe Ingredients

  • 16 oz jar Dill pickle chip ovals
  • ¼ tsp Paprika
  • ¼ tsp Garlic powder
  • To taste Salt (keep in mind that panko already has some salt)
  • 2 pinches Black pepper
  • ¾ cup Panko I used Kikkoman Japanese-style Panko
  • 2 Eggs

Cajun Yogurt Dipping Sauce

  • ¾ cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Pickle juice
  • ¼ tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (add more to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400F. Drain the pickle chips, reserving some of the pickle juice.
  • Spread out the pickles and dry them on both sides with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • Separately, in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until thoroughly combined. In another bowl, add the seasoning to the panko and mix to disperse them.
  • Dip the dried pickle chips into the egg mixture and then into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure to thoroughly coat the pickles on both sides. Line the pickles onto a sheet tray with parchment paper as you work. (I put the pickles and eggs in a large bowl together, then dipped them in the panko one-by-one).
  • To cook the pickles, place them in the air fryer in a single layer with some space in between them. Lightly spray them with cooking spray and cook for 5 minutes. Flip them, spray again, and cook another 4-6 minutes until your desired crispiness. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook the breaded pickles in batches.
  • To make the sauce, mix all of the ingredients together. Serve with the air fryer fried pickles.
