Our version of this savory snack is a dead ringer for its deep-fried counterpart. It’s just as tasty and perhaps even more irresistibly crunchy. The key to the crunch is a classic three-step breading process: Toss pickle chips (that have been patted dry) in seasoned flour, then dip in egg, and finally dredge in panko. The chipotle yogurt dipping sauce is a perfect creamy, smoky accompaniment. Do seek out lower-sodium pickles; regular pickles might taste too salty here.
Ingredients
Cooking spray
4 spray(s)
Low-sodium dill pickles
1 cup(s), slices
All-purpose flour
3 Tbsp
Garlic powder
1 tsp, divided
Cayenne pepper
⅛ tsp
Egg(s)
1 large egg(s), lightly beaten
Panko breadcrumbs
⅔ cup(s)
Plain fat free Greek yogurt
⅓ cup(s)
Canned chipotle pepper(s)
2 tsp, finely chopped
Instructions
1
Pat the pickles dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, ¾ tsp garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tsp water. Pour the panko onto a plate. Add the pickles to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Working in batches, toss the pickles in egg mixture and dredge in panko.
2
Preheat air fryer, if necessary, to 400°F. Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange half of the pickle slices in the basket in a single layer; coat with cooking spray. Air-fry until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. If the bottom side is not browned, flip the slices over and air-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pickle slices.

Meanwhile, stir together the yogurt, chipotle, remaining ¼ tsp garlic powder, and 2 tbsp water. Serve the sauce with the pickle chips.
