Ingredients

  • 3 cups sliced dill pickles we used Milwaukee, regular-sized dill pickles
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs

Dipping Sauce

  • ½ cup 2% or 5% plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried chives
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF.
  • Slice all of the dill pickles into about 1-inch thick and 1-inch round pieces. Set them aside.

  • Add the flour, panko bread crumbs, and kosher salt to a medium mixing bowl and mix to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together.
  • Bread the pickles by dredging a pickle through the egg and then placing the pickle on a dry plate. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the pickle and firmly press the breading into the pickle so it is covered. Gently flip the pickle over and repeat on the other side of the pickle. Set aside. It is important to bread the pickles on a separate plate so the egg mixture doesn’t cause the bread mixture to clump.

  • Repeat step 4 until all of the pickle rounds are coated. Transfer the pickles to the air fryer so that they are not touching. Drizzle the pickles with olive oil.

Tips & Notes

  • We used Milwaukee regular-sized dill pickles for this recipe. You can use any brand of pickle, but mini pickles will be too small and giant pickles will be too big.
  • It is important to bread the pickles on a separate plate so the egg mixture doesn’t cause the bread mixture to clump.
  • The process of breading the pickles is tedious. Be patient and try to cover as much of the pickles as possible.
