Ingredients
- Pickles (dill or your favorite type)
- Almond flour – enough to coat the pickles
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Step 1: Drain the pickles and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Step 2: Beat the egg in a bowl. In a separate bowl, place the almond flour.

- Step 4: Place the coated pickles in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch.
- Step 5: Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes or until golden and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
Tips & Variations

- Add spices like garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne to the almond flour for more flavor.
- Use dill pickles for the classic tangy taste or sweet pickles if you prefer a sweeter bite.

FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but almond flour keeps this recipe keto-friendly and adds a nutty flavor. Using regular flour will change both the carb content and texture.
Do I need to soak the pickles before frying?
No need to soak if you use store-bought pickles, but be sure to pat them dry well to prevent sogginess.
