Crispy, crunchy, and delicious – these air-fried gherkin pickles are the best thing out there. With no oil, you can enjoy these fries pickles as many as possible, guilt-free!! 

I’m all in for some savory snacks. Whenever I get a chance, I try to make spicy, delicious snacks. Pickles are one of those dishes I love eating, be it in a salad, or sandwiches or for a change, fried ones. 

As delicious and tempting as fried pickles may sound, deep frying them always made me hesitant while eating them. The oil and calories reminded me how unhealthy it is. 

With an air fryer in my life, I can eat any fried snack without any oil and, hence, without any guilt. These fried pickles are also made in the air fryer. Coated in panko for that extra crunch, these pickles are super tasty.

Why Use An Air Fryer? 

An air fryer is a mini convection oven that does fast cooking for your convenience. You would need little to no oil for your dishes, which makes them a healthier option to eat. The process of deep drying gets eliminated due to cooking in an air fryer. 

Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

  • Tasty: The fried pickles are an absolutely amazing treat. The crunch from the outside and soft tangy pickle slice inside seasoned with your favorite spices – it’s a dish not to be missed.
  • Fast Cooking: You don’t have to wait for oil to heat up and fry the pickles. You can make these pickles in under 10 minutes. Yes, it’s that fast. Place the coated pickle slices in the air fryer and cook them for 6-7 minutes. Isn’t it amazing? It’s perfect when you have sudden guests in your home. 
  • Healthy: No oil would definitely mean it’s healthy. When you eliminate deep frying, it automatically makes the fish a better version of itself. And the best part is taste is not compromised in this process. So why not choose the healthier version of eating snacks? 

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Gherkin Pickle Slices: I prefer gherkin pickle over dill pickle. Gherkins are tangy as well as sweet in taste. It’s perfect for an excellent combination of flavors with spices. You can either use sliced pickles available in jars or buy whole pickles and slice them according to your preference. 
  • All-Purpose Flour: The flour is used for two reasons. One, all spices are mixed into the flour. These spices stick well to the pickles when mixed with flour. Second, the flour provides a layer that, when baked, helps make the pickles crunchy. 
  • Paprika, Cajun Spice, and Salt: I prefer my pickles spicy, so I have added red paprika powder and Cajun spice as the seasoning. We definitely need some salt for the seasoning and overall taste. You may go ahead and add any other spice that you like. 
  • Egg and Milk: For the purpose of sticking panko or breadcrumbs onto the pickle, we need an egg and milk mixture. Panko sticks well onto this mix. 
  • Panko: You can get the most crunchiest outer layer using panko. Coat the entire slice with panko, and when air-fried, you will have a delicious, super crunchy exterior. 

How To Make Pickles in Air Fryer

Preparation: Take all ingredients and measure them correctly. You can find the quantities in the recipe card below. Preheat the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 180C.

Dry Ingredients Mix: Take all-purpose flour, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Mix it well and keep it aside. 

Mix Egg and Milk: in another bowl, mix egg and milk. Use a fork or small whisk to incorporate the two ingredients properly. 

Coat Sliced Pickles: Take sliced pickles and coat them in the flour mixture. Now, dip this coated slice into the egg mixture. 

Panko Mixture: After dipping the slices in the egg-milk mixture, coat them in Panko. Place all Panko-coated sliced pickles in the air fryer. 

Cook: Cook the pickles at 180C for 6-7 minutes or until they turn slightly golden brown. 

Serve: Serve these warm, crunchy fried pickles with your favorite dip! 

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Coat Them Well 

All three coats that you need to put on the pickles should be good. If the coating is not done properly, there won’t be a good thick, crunchy crust all around the pickle. 

Do not Crowd The Air Fryer

Place the pickles in a single layer. Do not overcrowd them by putting too many slices one over the other. This way, the pickles won’t cook properly. Cook them in batches. 

How To Store Air Fried Pickles

These delicious pickles taste best when served fresh. I would not recommend to serve later. However, if you still have leftovers, store them in an air-tight box and reheat them in the air fryer for 1 minute before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are gherkin pickles? 

Gherkin pickle is made using a small green fruit of a plant related to cucumber. They look like cucumbers but do not taste like them. They are used explicitly for pickling only.

How are gherkins different from dill pickles?

The only difference between the two pickles is the ingredient dill herb, which is used in pickling for dill pickles. So, gherkins are the same as dill pickles but without the dill herb, which makes them taste differently.

Can I use any other flour instead of all-purpose flour? 

Yes, if you do not wish to use all-purpose flour, you can use almond flour. It will also add a great flavor. 

What dips can I use to serve the fried pickles? 

You can pair the pickles with many dips like sour cream, Chipotle, tzatziki, mayonnaise, Thousand Island, etc. 

Do I need to pat dry the slices? 

Yes, after slicing the pickles, pat them dry using a kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture. 

How to prevent the pickles from sticking to the air fryer?

Place a piece of butter paper at the bottom of the air fryer basket and then put the pickles. This will prevent the pickles from sticking to the bottom.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
