Ingredients
Scale
Pickles
- 6 pickles (cut into 12 quarters)
Breading
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1½ cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Montreal steak seasoning or regular steak seasoning
Other
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare Flour: In a medium bowl, place the all-purpose flour ready for dredging the pickles.
- Whisk Eggs: In a second medium bowl, whisk the eggs together with the milk to create an egg wash.
- Season Breadcrumbs: In a third medium bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs and Montreal steak seasoning thoroughly.
- Coat Pickles: Dip each pickle quarter first into the flour, then the egg wash, and finally coat with the seasoned Panko breadcrumbs. Place coated pickles on a plate.
- Prepare Air Fryer: Spray the basket of the air fryer generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Pickles: Place the coated pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Spray the top of the pickles again with cooking spray.
- Cook Pickles: Air fry at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 minutes until golden and crispy. Repeat in batches if necessary.
- Serve: Remove pickles and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Store air fryer fried pickles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Freezing is not recommended as the pickles will lose their crispiness.
- To reheat, place the pickles in the air fryer for a few minutes until crispy and heated through.
- Use dill pickle quarters from the refrigerated section for best flavor.
- Arrange pickles in the air fryer basket without overlapping to ensure even cooking.
- If Panko breadcrumbs are unavailable, regular breadcrumbs can be used but texture may differ.
- Cooking time may vary depending on pickle size and thickness; adjust accordingly.
- Spraying cooking spray on the air fryer basket and pickles prevents sticking and promotes crispiness.
