Keto Air Fryer Fried Pickles (Paleo, Whole30)

Keto Air Fryer Fried Pickles (Paleo, Whole30)

The first time I tried fried pickles was about 3 years ago. It was such a new concept to me that even though I was gluten free, I tried several of them at a bar and couldn’t believe how delicious they were. I definitely didn’t feel well afterwards being gluten intolerant, but I remember thinking that it was totally worth it. They were that good!
Ingredients

• 2 cups dill pickle slices
• 1 tbsp coconut flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup pork panko (ground-up pork rinds)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• Sea salt, to taste see notes
• Optional: Avocado oil to spray or brush
• Optional: Ranch dressing for dipping

Equipment

• Air fryer
  

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
2. Pat dry the pickle slices with a kitchen or paper towel and place in a large bowl.
3. Sprinkle the pickles with coconut flour and toss gently so all sides are coated.
4. In a separate bowl, crack and whisk the egg.
5. In another bowl, mix together pork panko, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
6. Working in batches, dredge the pickle slices in the egg wash.
7. Shake off the excess and press into the pork panko mixture. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the rest of the pickle slices.
8. Arrange the dill pickle slices in a single layer in the air fryer. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
9. For extra crispy pickles, spray or brush the pickles with avocado oil.
