Air Fried Pickles
A fun and easy to make recipe for summer! Slices of pickles are coated in breadcrumbs and the air fried. They paired with a sriracha aioli and are so delicious!
Ingredients
Fried Pickles
- 20 sliced pickles
- ⅓ cup (45g) chickpea flour
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon (110ml) water
- Pinch salt and pepper
- 5 tablespoons (46g) panko breadcrumbs
- Spray oil
Sriracha Aioli
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 2 to 3 teaspoons sriracha
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ lemon juiced
Instructions
- Place pickle slices on a towel and let them sit for 5 minutes. Pat them dry this will allow any excess liquid to come out.
- In a bowl combine the chickpea flour, water, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a separate bowl or plate.
- Take 1 pickle and place in the batter. Allow excess to drip off and then coat in breadcrumbs. Pat them in so they really stick. Repeat until all are made.
- Spray both sides generously with spray oil of choice. I usually spray one side then place that side facing down and spray the other side in the air fryer.
- Place in the air fryer leaving a bit of space between them. Depending on your air fryer you may have to do this in batches.
- Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 17 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- In the meantime combine the ingredients for the sriracha aioli and adjust any flavorings to your preference.
- Enjoy the air fried pickles immediately and top with sesame seeds and green onion for garnish. Serve with sriracha aioli.

Notes
- If you want to deep fry these I would suggest freezing them for 30 minutes before deep frying to allow breadcrumbs to harden.
- I did not try baking these it should work just fine though. I can't give exact temperatures and times as I did not try it myself and don't know.
