Fried Pickles are a game day favorite and this recipe sees that old favorite through a different lens, that is they are not “fried” at all, at least not in the traditional sense using oil, they are fried in an Air Fryer! So healthy and excellent! I needed to bring some Fried Pickles to an event recently and I really wanted my Fried Pickles to stand out because they were “healthily fried”. So when I found this Youtube video explaining how to make a Deep Fried Pickles in an Air Fryer, I knew I was onto a winner! They looked so gorgeous and were so beautiful with their crunch crust stacked up on top and served with a ranch dipping sauce, and by the sound of it, they were going to be delicious as well. The pickles I used were from my Grandma’s Farm, grown in her garden and canned by her loving hands and that made this recipe an instant Southern Classic in my world.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Sliced Pickles (dill or sweet)
• 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1 beaten egg (for pickle pre dip)
• 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt

Make your egg mixture in one bowl and you breadcrumb mixture in another

Dip your pickles in the egg then the breadcrumbs and put in the air fryer

These pickles are so delicious everyone at the event loved them so much we ended up having to go get more of Grandma’s pickles to make more!
