Air Fryer Pickle Chips Recipe

If you’re looking for a delightful snack that combines crunch and tang, air fryer pickle chips are the perfect solution. With their satisfying crispy texture and zesty flavour, these chips make for a fantastic nibble for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 300g dill pickles, sliced into 0.5cm rounds
• 100g plain flour
• 2 large eggs, whisked
• 150g breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by patting the pickle slices dry with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispiness.

2. Set up a breading station: place the flour in one bowl, the whisked eggs in another, and in a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Dip each pickle slice first into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Press down gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.

4. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (approximately 390°F). Once hot, arrange the battered pickle chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.

5. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

6. Once done, remove the chips and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your air fryer pickle chips as they are or with your favourite dipping sauce, such as ranch or a spicy mayonnaise.

These air fryer pickle chips are bound to become a new favourite – quick, easy, and utterly scrumptious!
