Equipment
Ingredients
- 3-4 large dill pickles cut into spears
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt divided
- 1/2 cup buttermilk see tips above for making your own
- 1 egg
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Oil Spray optional
Instructions
- Dry the pickles with paper towels.
- You need three shallow bowls or deep plates. In the first one, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- In the second, combine buttermilk (or milk and vinegar/lemon juice) and egg, then add ¼ cup of the flour mixture from the first bowl.
- In the third, combine panko breadcrumbs, remaining 1/2 tsp salt and olive oil with a fork until the oil is evenly distributed.
- Dredge the pickle spears in the flour mixture, drop them in the buttermilk egg mixture, and then dredge them in the panko mixture until coated evenly.
- Place pickle spears in a single layer in the Air Fryer basket. Use a rack to make a second layer if needed.
- Cook at 400°F until golden brown and crispy, about 8–10 minutes. Spray with some oil spray after about 6 minutes for a more golden finish. Repeat with remaining pickles spears.
