Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Rolling Pin
  • Large ziploc bag
  • Tongs

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dill pickle slices
  • 1 cup ground pork rinds - pork rind crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 ½ tbsp coconut flour
  • cooking oil in a spray bottle
  • Optional: Ranch for dipping or your favorite sauce and dried parsley for garnish.

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Add the pork rinds to a large ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them or another object with some weight.
  • Pour the crumbs into a small bowl and mix with the paprika, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
  • Using a paper towel, pat dry the excess moisture off of the pickle slices and add them to a large bowl.
  • Add the coconut flour and toss to evenly coat the pickles.
  • Whisk the egg in a separate small bowl.
  • Using tongs, dredge the pickle slices in the egg wash in batches.
  • Allow the excess egg wash to drip off and then press them into the pork rind mixture.
  • Transfer to a plate and repeat until all of the pickles have been coated.
  • Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in small batches. First, spritz the cooking trays or basket with cooking oil - very lightly.
  • Arrange the pickles in a single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, ranch is a great option!
  • Sprinkle some dried parsley on your dipping sauce as garnish (optional).

Notes

If using an air fryer with a basket you may need to flip the pickles halfway through.
