AIR FRYER FRIED PICKLES

Get crispy, crunchy fried pickles with barely any oil.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 16-ounce jar dill pickle chips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 cup buttermilk
A couple of dashes hot sauce
1 1/2 cups panko
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • For the pickles: Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 390 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
  • Drain the pickles and spread them out on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Pat dry with more paper towels, pressing gently to remove as much moisture as possible. Eliminate any pickles with large holes or ones that are very thin.
  • Set up a breading station using 3 medium bowls: Whisk together the flour, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning in one bowl. In the second bowl combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. In the last combine the panko, Italian seasoning, the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle in the oil and use your hands to toss and coat the panko.
  • Working in small batches, bread the pickles: First, toss a handful of pickles in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dunk them in the buttermilk mixture to completely coat, shaking to remove any excess. Finally, toss them in the panko, pressing gently to make it adhere. Arrange the breaded pickles on the prepared baking sheet and repeat until all the pickles are breaded.
  • Arrange one-third of the breaded pickles in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes, the pickles will be very crunchy and browned on both sides. Remove to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining two batches of pickles.
  • For the dipping sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish and Cajun seasoning in small bowl.
  • Serve the warm pickles with the dipping sauce or use them and the dipping sauce to top your favorite burger.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pickles. Cornichons or gherkins are the best types of pickles for air frying. They are small and have a firm texture that holds up well to the heat.
  • Slice the pickles evenly. This will help them cook evenly. If the pickles are too thick, they will not cook through in the center.
  • Coat the pickles in a light layer of oil. This will help them crisp up and prevent them from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry the pickles in a single layer. This will ensure that they cook evenly. If you overcrowd the air fryer basket, the pickles will not cook properly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking. This will help the pickles cook evenly.
  • Cook the pickles until they are crispy and golden brown. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the pickles immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Air fryer pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the air fryer, you can enjoy these tasty treats at home. So next time you are looking for something to satisfy your craving for something crunchy and tangy, give air fryer pickles a try. You won't be disappointed!
