Air Fryer Fried Pickles
Air Fryer Fried Pickles are a healthy, low-carb alternative to deep-fried pickles. They give you that crispy, crunchy satisfaction without all the unhealthy oils and calories. Perfect for keto diets and a great appetizer for any gathering, these pickles are easy to make and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 jar of dill pickle chips preferably Vlasic or Mt. Olive
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1 large egg beaten
- Cooking spray optional, for extra crispness
Instructions
- Pat the pickle chips dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and seasoned salt.
- Dip each pickle chip into the beaten egg, then coat it with the almond flour mixture. Ensure even coverage.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C).
- Arrange the coated pickles in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Air fry for 5-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crispiness.
- Once golden and crispy, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crunch, use a double-dredging technique: dip the pickles in egg and then coat again with the breadcrumb mixture.
- If using pickle spears, adjust cooking time to 7-8 minutes at 390°F (200°C).
- These pickles are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness. If storing, place them in a single layer in an open container and reheat in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the almond flour with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed pork rinds.
