Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pickles
Drain the pickles and pat them dry using a paper towel. Removing excess moisture helps the breading stick better.
Step 2: Coat the Pickles
In a small bowl, beat the egg. In a separate bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs. Dip each pickle slice into the egg, then coat it evenly with the panko breadcrumbs.
Step 3: Arrange in the Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease the air fryer basket. Arrange the coated pickles in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
Step 4: Cook Until Crispy
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through. The pickles should be golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or spicy mayo.

Yes! Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
How do I store leftover fried pickles?
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes to crisp them up again.
