Can You Air Fry Fried Pickles
I know it might sound weird but some people truly want to know if you get that deep dried taste with air frying your pickles. The answer is, yes. The Air Fryer or Ninja heats hot air that circulates all around your pickles, so it gives it that crispy texture on the outside like it was fried in a vat of oil.
You don’t have the oily mess, easy cleanup, and you skip all those empty carbs.
How To Make Low Carb Air Fried Pickles
The process is easy, and boy the results are outstanding. Start with crunched up pork rinds and coconut flour as the breading. This will be your breading. Even if you are not a huge fan of pork rinds, trust me. . it works!
You dry off your pickles to remove as much juice as you can and then start the dredging process. Dip in flour, followed by the egg, then by pork rinds. Lay out your breaded pickles on your fryer basket and cook for 7 minutes.
Whip up your dip and serve as a pairing, and dive in!
What Temperature Do You Air Fry Fried Pickles
I have found that 400 degrees works great for making air fry fried pickles. I cook for 7 minutes until they are golden brown and crunchy on the outside.
Can I Use Regular Flour For These Air Fry Fried Pickles
If you are not wanting the low carb option, then yes you can reach for white flour. The coconut flour helps keep the carb count down, but you can use white flour if you want if you are not wanting the low carb option.
How to Get Crispy Air Fried Pickles
The key to getting that crunchy air fried pickle is leaving room in the basket. Don’t pile your pickles in, make sure there is space between the pickles. If you overlap the areas that touch will not crisp up during the cooking process.
What Equipment Do I Need For Air Fried Pickles
- Ninja Foodi or Air Fryer for cooking up your pickles to a crispy texture.
