Air Fryer Crispy Pickles

Air Fryer Crispy Pickles - lightly seasoned, dipped in egg and flour then air fried making them not only tasty, but healthier than cooking in a traditional deep fryer. Cooking them with no oil means there's even fewer calories. They're a healthier option for a snack.

Let me show you another easy-to-make Air Fryer Appetizer recipe that's the perfect party snack. Oh...there's a FREE Air Fryer Cooking Times printable available for you too!

When I first purchased our air fryer the only thing I was brave enough to cook in it was chicken nuggets. Then I discovered how amazing chicken tastes in the air fryer with my recipe BBQ Chicken Bites. Last week I published my recipe for Twice Baked Potatoes that came out so good!

These Air Fryer Crispy Pickles would be a fun side dish to serve alongside hamburgers, chili or even my family's favorite breaded chicken cutlets.
