Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Pieces Whole Pickles cut into spears
  • 1/2 Cup Breading
  • 1 Piece Egg
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Gather pickle slices, coconut flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, and set out three shallow bowls for the flour, egg, and breadcrumb steps.
  • Pat pickles dry with paper towels, roll lightly in coconut flour for an even coating, and shake off any excess.
  • Whisk eggs until frothy, dip each floured pickle slice in the egg, and coat completely for the crumbs to attach.
  • Press egg-coated pickles into breadcrumbs, ensuring both sides are evenly covered, then set aside while heating oil.
  • Fry pickles in hot oil over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, then drain on paper towels before serving.

Notes

  • Dry the Pickles First: Pat your pickle slices dry with a paper towel before coating. This helps the breading stick better and keeps them crispy.
  • Use Even Coating: Make sure each pickle slice is fully covered with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. This gives them a perfect crunch in every bite.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan or Air Fryer: Cook in small batches so the pickles crisp up evenly. Overcrowding can make them soggy instead of crunchy.
  • Serve Right Away: Fried pickles taste best fresh and hot. Enjoy them as soon as they’re ready for the ultimate crunch.
