how to make Air Fryer Fried Pickles

Ingredients :

• 1 cup sliced pickles
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (I’m using Tabasco)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup minced onions (the finer the better)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)

Directions :

1. Lay down a couple of sheets of paper towels. Arrange the pickles on the paper towels and place more paper towels on top. Let them dry for a few minutes.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, flour, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another shallow dish, add the breadcrumbs.
4. Working one at a time, dip a pickle in the egg wash, coat it in the breadcrumbs, then transfer it to a baking sheet.
5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Add the pickles in a single layer with some space between each pickle. Spray them with oil and air-fry for 5-7 minutes.
6. Flip the pickles, spray with more oil, and air-fry for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
7. For the dip, simply combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Enjoy!
