Ingredients
Scale
Pickle Chips
- 1 cup sliced pickles (thick slices)
Breading Station
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp dried dill weed
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the pickles: Drain the sliced pickles thoroughly and pat them dry very well using paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispy coating.
- Set up the breading station: In three separate bowls, mix the ingredients as follows: combine flour with salt and pepper in the first; whisk the eggs in the second; combine panko breadcrumbs with dried dill weed and garlic powder in the third.
- Bread the pickle slices: Dredge each pickle slice first in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry the chips: Arrange the coated pickle slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the pickle chips from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Be sure to pat the pickles dry thoroughly to prevent sogginess.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
- Flipping halfway through ensures even browning and crunchy texture on both sides.
- These pickle chips are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness.
- Try serving with ranch, spicy mayo, or your preferred dipping sauce for extra flavor.
