Ingredients

4 large dill pickles
1/4 cup flour

For the batter

1 large egg
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup flour

For the dry mix

1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 200C/400F.
Slice the pickles in ½ inch slices and toss them in the flour.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, mustard, mayonnaise, and water. Slowly fold in the flour, until a smooth pancake-like batter remains. In a separate bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dip the pickles in the first batter, then the dry mix. Place the battered pickles on a plate lined with parchment paper.
Generously grease an air fryer basket. Place the pickles in a single layer and air fry for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove them from the air fryer and repeat the process until all the pickles are air fried.

Notes

TO STORE: Place leftovers in a shallow container and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days.

TO FREEZE: Place the cooled air fried pickles in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to two months.

TO REHEAT: These pickles are supposed to be crispy, so do not reheat them in the microwave. Instead, use a preheated oven or back in the air fryer.

Cut the carbs. Use pork rinds to make my keto bread crumbs instead, or make my keto fried pickles.
Add extra spices. Try garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Use whole pickles. I'd suggest sticking with little gherkins. Increase the air frying time by 2-3 minutes.
