Instructions
 

  • Drain the pickle rounds. Arrange them between paper towels and pat thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
  • Beat the egg in a small bowl. Mix in the maple syrup, if using.
  • Place the gluten-free panko breadcrumbs in a second small bowl.
  • Dip each pickle into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Coat both sides with panko, gently pressing the crumbs onto the pickle.
  • Arrange the pickle chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 8 minutes, manually flipping each pickle after 4 minutes. Do not shake the basket because the coating may come off.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Pat the pickles thoroughly dry so the coating adheres and becomes crisp.
  • Arrange the pickles in a single layer and cook in batches if necessary.
  • Flip each pickle manually instead of shaking the basket.
  • For a spicy variation, add a little hot sauce to the egg mixture.
  • Air fryer models vary, so add another minute if the coating is not crisp after 8 minutes.
  • This recipe is gluten-free only when made with gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.
