Ingredients

Scale

For the Pickles

  • 1 cup sliced pickles

  • 2 large eggs

  • 3 tablespoons flour

  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

For the Dip

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ¼ cup finely minced onion

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dry the pickles
    Lay pickle slices on paper towels and place another layer on top. Let them sit for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.

  2. Prepare coating
    In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, flour, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.
    Place panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.

  3. Bread the pickles
    Dip each pickle into the egg mixture, then coat in breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet.

  4. Air fry
    Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange pickles in a single layer with space between them. Spray lightly with oil.
    Air fry for 5–7 minutes, flip, spray again, and air fry another 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy.

  5. Make the dip
    Stir together sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and dill in a small bowl.

  6. Serve
    Serve warm with the dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

    • Pat pickles very dry before breading.

    • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket.

    • Use panko breadcrumbs for the crunchiest coating.

    • Spray lightly with oil to help browning.
