Ingredients
  

Crispy Dill Pickles
  • 1 cup dill pickle slices
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • Cooking oil spray

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Whisk
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Pickles: Slice the dill pickles into ¼-inch thick rounds. Pat the pickle slices dry with paper towels.
  2. Make the Coating: In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  3. Coat the Pickles: Dredge the pickle slices in the flour mixture, ensuring they're fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
  4. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the pickle slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the pickles with cooking oil. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

For extra crispy pickles, ensure they are thoroughly dried before coating. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow for even cooking.
