Instructions

  • Gather dill pickles, coconut flour, eggs, and breading, pat the pickles dry, slice as desired, and preheat the air fryer to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius).
  • Lightly dust each pickle piece in coconut flour, shaking off excess so the egg adheres properly.
  • Whisk the eggs, then dip each floured pickle until fully coated, letting any extra drip off.
  • Press pickles into the breading, coat evenly, and place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) for 5 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Flip with tongs and air fry 3 more minutes until crisp and golden, then serve hot.

Notes

  • Pat pickles dry before breading. This helps the coating stick better and keeps them from getting soggy during cooking. This fried pickles recipe can use panko to coat pickle spears.
  • Use a light spritz of oil. Spraying a bit of cooking spray before air frying gives them that golden, crispy crunch without deep frying.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Give each pickle space so they cook evenly and stay crisp.
  • Serve right away for the best crunch. While they can be reheated, dill pickle slices are the crispiest and tastiest fresh out of the air fryer.
