Ingredients
- 1 cup pickle slices, patted dry
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup egg whites (or 1 beaten egg)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the pickle slices: Pat the pickle slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Mix the coating: In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Dip the pickles: In another bowl, beat the egg whites (or a whole egg). Dip each pickle slice into the egg mixture.
- Coat the pickles: Transfer the dipped pickles into the breadcrumb mixture and coat evenly.
- Air fry the pickles: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated pickle slices in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overlapping.
- Cook to perfection: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
For best results, dry the pickles well and do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
