Air Fryer Tips
Hey there! Air fryers work best when you give the food some space, so don’t stack those pickles! A single layer lets the hot air flow around each piece, making them super crispy. If you need to cook more, it’s better to do multiple batches than to crowd the basket. A quick spray of oil helps the breading get that beautiful golden color we all love!
Sauce Pairings
These crispy pickles are begging to be dunked! Ranch dressing is a classic choice that never fails. Want something with a kick? Try mixing mayo with a little hot sauce and cajun seasoning. My personal favorite is a honey mustard sauce – just mix equal parts honey, mustard, and mayo. You could also go simple with a creamy buttermilk dip or even a tangy remoulade.
Quick Storage Tips
While these pickles taste best right out of the air fryer, you might have leftovers. Pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, just air fry them again at 350°F for 2-3 minutes. The breading might not be quite as crispy as fresh-made, but they’ll still be tasty!
