Pickle Fix Fried Pickle Spears (Printable Version)
Air-fried, crispy pickle spears—tangy, golden, and perfect for snacks or gatherings.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Pickles & Coating
01 - 8 dill pickle spears, drained and patted dry
02 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1 large egg, beaten
04 - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
05 - Oil spray
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs in three separate bowls to create a breading station.
02 - Coat each pickle spear in flour, then dip in beaten egg, followed by an even coating of breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere.
03 - Place breaded pickle spears in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Lightly spray the tops with oil.
04 - Air fry at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping spears halfway through cooking, until uniformly golden and crisp.
