Air Fryer Fried Pickles
My Air Fryer obsession just keeps growing, plus the Ninja Foodi of course too. It’s so strong now that my Air Fryer has gained countertop real estate. Now, that is a big deal around here because I only let the appliances that I truly use regularly up there.
It’s sitting right next to the other appliance that I can’t live without, the coffee pot.
I won’t knock the slow cooker or the Instant Pot entirely, but the Air Fryer is my go-to for everything. It’s my saving grace when I’m in a pinch, you can literally cook nearly everything in it…even toast!
I also love that I don’t have to heat up my oven and get so many pans out to cook dinner, simply toss the food in the Air Fryer and cook it and serve it.
I am now using a Ninja Foodi Air Fryer; however, you can check out a variety of different air fryers in my post on, How to Choose the Right Air Fryer.

How do you make Air Fryer Pickles?
This past week, I decided to try some Gluten-Free Air Fryer Fried Pickles and they were delicious!
Of course, you can make these with regular bread crumbs if gluten-free isn’t a need for you.
We decided to serve ours with ranch dressing, that’s just a must in Oklahoma. Then, we ate up! Basically you can use any of your favorite varieties of pickles to make these.
Plus, you can use this same method to make Onion Rings in the Air Fryer too or Air Fryer Squash, basically, anything can be made with this method of breading them.
I made these Air Fryer Fried Pickles by adapting my recipe for Baked Squash Chips.

These look delicious! So glad you share with us at Merry Monday. Scheduled to my FB for this Sunday afternoon.
Thank you, I appreciate the share! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I think I need to get an air fryer! These pickles look delicious. Thanks for linking up with us at the #HomeMattersParty this week.
Love this! These look delicious. I’ve been wanting to make my own fried pickles at home for ages. Cannot wait to try these!
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy them!
Can you use regular milk instead of buttermilk? Or any other substitute?
Yes you can and add just a little bit of white vinegar will give it the same taste.
Do you know if this same recipe works in the Ninja Foodie Digital Air Fryer Oven (the one that flips up)? I’ve tried several fried pickle recipes in it and all turned out like leather. Not sure how much difference there is amongst Ninja’s own air fryers! Thanks!
It should work the same for that one, I would suggest checking them at half the cook time listed, then again after a couple more minutes until you get the perfect time for yours. Air Fryers all put off different heat, so they can be tricky on cook times until you get the hang of what works for yours.
This recipe is bland as heck. I’d recommend spicing it up a bit and make sure to 100% spray with oil.
