Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups dill pickle chips
  • ¼ cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ⅓ cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for serving
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip optional for serving

Instructions
 

  • Spread the pickles out onto a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat as dry as possible.

  • Set up your workstation: place the flour in a shallow bowl (a pie dish works well). In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the egg and water until well combined. In a third shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, Italian seasoning, cayenne, and salt. Arrange the plates in a line (flour, eggs, breadcrumbs). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Working a few pickles at a time, dredge the pickles in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs, shaking off excess as needed.

  • Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pickles.

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. Generously coat the basket with nonstick spray. Arrange a single layer of pickles in the basket so that they do not overlap. Coat the top of the pickles with nonstick spray.

  • Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, until dark golden and crisp (these cook fairly evenly so no need to flip halfway through unless you are a stickler). Remove the air fried pickles to a serving plate and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt. Enjoy hot.
