Description
A popular social media trend featuring whole baby dill pickles blotted completely dry, double-coated in a seasoned panko and cornmeal crust, and air fried until extra crispy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 jar Whole Baby Dill Pickles
- 0.5 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 Large Fresh Eggs
- 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Yellow Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 spray Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Turn your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure the basket is nice and hot when the pickles enter.
- Empty your jar of mini pickles, spread them across paper towels, and blot them aggressively until they are completely dry.
- Arrange your three shallow bowls in a row: flour in the first, whisked eggs in the second, and crumbs with cornmeal and spices in the third.
- Roll each dry pickle in flour, dip completely into the egg wash, and press firmly into the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the breaded baby pickles inside the air fryer basket in a single, even layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Mist the tops of the breaded pickles generously with your cooking spray to ensure an even, beautiful golden browning.
- Air fry at 400 degrees for seven to nine minutes, shaking the basket gently halfway through, until they look just like nbnvbvb.png.
Notes
- Always dry the mini pickles thoroughly with paper towels before breading to prevent the coating from sliding off.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; arrange the pickles in a flat single layer for an optimal all-over crunch.
- Add a tablespoon of real pickle brine directly into the egg wash mixture to give the crunchy coating extra flavor depth.
