Serve these as an appetizer at your next party or as an easy snack during the week.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten well
  • ½ cup finely ground cornmeal
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
  • 1½ to 2 kosher dill pickles, cut into ¼-inch disks (16 disks total)
  • Olive oil, for spraying
  • ½ teaspoon ranch seasoning blend
  • Ranch dressing, for serving (optional)

Preparation

  1. Put the flour, egg, and cornmeal into individual shallow containers large enough for dipping the pickles. Add the salt and cayenne to the cornmeal; stir to combine.
  2. Blot the cut pickles on a paper towel to dry. Dredge each pickle disk in the flour and shake off the excess. Dip into the egg, and then coat evenly with the cornmeal mixture. Place the pickles in one layer in the air fryer basket. Spray both sides liberally with olive oil.
  3. Place the basket in the air fryer. Select Air Fry, and set the time to 10 minutes and the temperature to 400°F. Press Start/Stop. When alerted, flip the pickles, and reinsert the basket to continue cooking. Air fry until browned and crispy. Remove from the basket, and season both sides with the ranch seasoning. Serve with ranch dressing, if desired.
