Ingredients
  

  • 1 jar 16 oz dill pickle spears (drained and pat dried)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • Cooking spray for air fryer

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Pickles: Start by draining the pickle spears and patting them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This is key to getting them crispy in the air fryer.
  • Make the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well.
  • Dunk the Pickles: Dip each pickle spear into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
  • Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the coated pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
  • Cook: Air fry the pickles for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or a spicy mayo, for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to dry the pickles thoroughly before coating them. Any excess moisture can prevent them from crisping up.
  • You can use a variety of seasonings based on your personal preferences, like adding cayenne for heat or Italian seasoning for a twist.
  • For an extra-crispy texture, spray the pickles with a bit more cooking spray halfway through the cooking process.
  • These pickles can be stored in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them in the air fryer for the best texture.
