Air Fryer Doritos Fried Pickles
Description
Crunchy dill pickle chips coated in crushed Doritos and air fried in about 20 minutes. Serve with ranch for game day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dill pickle chips, drained and patted dry
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup finely crushed Doritos, any flavor (about 3 oz)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
- Ranch dressing, for serving
Instructions
- Pat the pickle chips very dry with paper towels.
- Add the flour to a shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs in a second bowl. Mix the crushed Doritos, parsley, cayenne, salt and pepper in a third.
- Coat each pickle in flour, then egg, then press firmly into the Doritos mixture.
- Spray the air fryer basket. Arrange the pickles in a single layer and mist the tops with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 400°F for 5 minutes. Flip, mist again, and cook 5 to 7 minutes more until golden and crisp.
- Serve immediately with ranch.
Equipment
- 3 shallow bowls or a breading tray, for the dredging station
- Zip-top bag and rolling pin, or a food processor, for crushing the Doritos
- Paper towels, for drying the pickles
- Tongs or a fork, for flipping
- Oil mister (optional), if you'd rather not use canned spray
- Perforated parchment liners (optional), for easier cleanup
Notes
- Cook in batches so the pickles don't overlap.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 375°F for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cool Ranch or Flamin' Hot Doritos work well; reduce or skip the cayenne with spicy flavors.
