Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer:

  • If your air fryer has a preheat function, preheat it to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.

Prepare the Pickles:

  • Drain and pat dry the pickles using paper towels. Excess moisture can affect the crispiness of the fried pickles.
    1 lb Pickles

Prepare the Batter:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
    1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning, 1.5 teaspoons Garlic Powder, 0.25 teaspoon Salt, 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper, Oil Spray
  • Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

Add Wet Ingredients:

  • Pour in the water and whisk until a smooth batter forms. The batter should have a consistency similar to pancake batter.
    0.5 cup Water

Coat the Pickles:

  • Toss the dried pickles into the batter, ensuring each pickle is evenly coated.

Fry in the Air Fryer:

  • If your air fryer has a basket, lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  • Place the battered pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket, without overcrowding.

Air Fry the Pickles:

  • Cook the pickles in the preheated air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
  • Keep a close eye on the pickles to ensure they turn golden brown and crispy.

Check for Crispiness:

  • Depending on your air fryer and the thickness of the batter, the pickles might be ready before or after the suggested cooking time. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to achieve your desired level of crispiness.

Drain and Serve:

  • Once the fried pickles are crispy and golden brown, carefully remove them from the air fryer.
  • Place the fried pickles on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve with Dipping Sauce:

  • Arrange the fried pickles on a serving plate.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.
