Ingredients

Scale

Pickle and Coating Ingredients

  • 1 cup dill pickle slices (about 10–12 slices), well drained and patted dry
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Cooking spray or oil mist, for spraying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pickles and Coating: Drain dill pickle slices thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps ensure crispiness. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, beat the egg until smooth. Place panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  2. Coat the Pickles Thoroughly: Dip each pickle slice first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip into the beaten egg, and finally press the slice into panko breadcrumbs until fully coated, creating a three-layer crispy coating.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes, which is vital to achieve a golden, crisp finish.
  4. Air Fry the Pickle Chips: Arrange the coated pickle slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping to promote even cooking. Lightly spray the chips with cooking spray to enhance browning. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove chips carefully and let them cool for 2 minutes to firm up. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy on their own for a perfect spicy, tangy, and crunchy snack.

Notes

  • Pat dry the pickles thoroughly to avoid soggy chips and ensure they become crispy.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; leave space between chips for even air circulation and cooking.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter, crunchier coating compared to regular breadcrumbs.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper quantity according to your preferred spice level.
  • Serve the chips warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain crunchiness.
  • Freeze cooked chips on a baking sheet before transferring to freezer bags for up to 1 month; reheat in the air fryer for best results.
  • Reheat at 350°F (175°C) in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes to re-crisp; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
