Ingredients

  • 1 jar dill pickle slices or spears, drained and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  4. Dip each pickle slice in flour, then egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumb mixture.

  • Preheat the air fryer for even cooking.
  • Add cayenne pepper to breadcrumb mix for a spicy kick.
  • Do not microwave leftovers to avoid sogginess.
  • Reheat leftovers in air fryer at 375°F for 3–4 minutes.
  • Freeze cooked pickles and reheat in the air fryer for best results.
