- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
Instructions
Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix flour and spices in a shallow bowl.
- Dip sliced pickles into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- Arrange coated pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Spray pickles with cooking spray or drizzle lightly with olive oil.
- Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
- Flip the pickles over and spray with cooking spray.
- Continue air frying for an additional 5 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Oven Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix flour and spices in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each pickle slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Place the coated pickles in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Lightly spray the tops of the pickles with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Deep Fried:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix flour and spices in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each pickle slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Carefully lower the coated pickles into the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the pickles for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Make sure to dry your pickles, so the excess juice comes off. You can set them on a paper towel to help drain off the juice. This is what will help to ensure the coating sticks to the pickles.
- Spray generously with cooking spray to avoid flour spots and to make them nice and crispy.
- Freeze the pickles for at least 30 minutes before breading them to help the coating adhere better.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket – work in batches if necessary to ensure that the pickles cook evenly.
- Flip the pickles halfway through cooking to ensure that both sides are crispy and golden brown.
