This recipe is a pickle lover’s dream come true! Pickles fried in the air fryer are crispy, juicy, and insanely addictive. Even better, this recipe is also keto and gluten free!

Fried pickles on a plate with a side of ranch

What You’ll Need

  • Dill pickles
  • Eggs
  • Heavy cream
  • Almond flour
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Cajun seasoning
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Avocado oil spray

How To Make Them

  1. Cut the pickles in half lengthwise, then cut them again into quarters.
  2. Mix together the eggs and the heavy cream in a shallow dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, almond flour, and the seasoning.
  4. Dip the pickle slices in the egg mixture.
  5. Dip the egg-coated pickles into the almond flour mixture, making sure to coat each side well.
  6. Put the pickles on a tray or plate and freeze until the coating becomes solid, about 15 minutes.
  7. Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400º F. When it’s heated, spray the air fryer baking sheet or basket with the oil so that the pickles won’t stick.
  8. Arrange the pickles in a single layer in the air fryer. Spray them with some more oil.
  9. Cook for 10-12 minutes in the air fryer at 400º F. Flip them halfway through the cook time.

Chef’s Tips

  • If you’re on a keto diet, make sure you use sugar-free pickles. We used Bubbies for ours.
  • No need to run out a buy a block of parmesan to grate! You can use pre-grated parm, including the kind that comes in a plastic shaker!
