    Video Can you make fried pickles without eggs

    Fried pickles are a truly fun, crowd-pleasing appetizer, snack, or side dish. They’re a guaranteed hit at any gathering. Vegan & ready in less than 30 minutes, make fried pickles in the air fryer or a pan on the stovetop.

    Reading: can you make fried pickles without eggs

    Fried pickles never fail to entice whenever I see them on a restaurant menu. Unfortunately, they’re often not an option for vegans, unless I’m at a plant-based restaurant (like Bean in Charlotte, North Carolina).

    That’s why I love to make them at home. I can easily prepare them without eggs or dairy. And they can be fried in a pan on the stovetop or in my handy dandy air fryer.

    Either way they get beautifully crisp with an addictive amount of salt, tanginess, and crunch.

    For gatherings, they can even be made ahead of time & then just reheated in the air fryer! (Full details on how to do that below.)

    If you really want to bring a smile to someone’s face, fried pickles are an excellent place to start.

    What do fried pickles taste like?

    Fried pickles (a.k.a. frickles) are briny, salty, and thanks to beer batter, a little hoppy.

    Crunchy dill pickle slices are coated in a flour & beer mixture, and dredged in panko breadcrumbs. Then they’re air fried or pan-fried until perfectly crisp.

    What kind of pickles should I use?

    For this fried pickle recipe, I recommend thickly cut dill pickle slices. The beauty of a fried pickle is getting some of that pickle crunch along with the crispiness of the batter.

    I especially like Grillo’s pickle slices, which are sold in the refrigerated section. That makes them extra crunchy. But feel free to use any pickle slices that you enjoy. You can even use spears!

    What kind of beer should I use for the batter?

    For these beer battered pickles, I recommend a dark, hoppy beer. It has a maximum amount of beer flavor. But any beer that you enjoy drinking will work here.

    I usually opt for a German beer. They are guaranteed to be vegan because of their purity laws. If in doubt, check out Barnivore to see if your preferred brew is vegan.

    How to make fried pickles in air fryer or pan

    Ingredients for air fryer pickles.

    Here are the ingredients you’ll need for fried pickles.

    Pickle slices on towel.

    Start by drying dill pickle slices on a clean towel. (Dry pickles work best for the coating to stick properly.)

    Now it’s time to make a breading station.

    Breading station with panko, cornstarch, and batter mixture by pickles on towel and air fryer.

    In a small bowl combine the following:

    • All-purpose flour
    • Baking powder
    • Beer
    • Salt
    • Water

    The batter should be thick but pourable, like waffle batter.

    On one dinner plate, sprinkle cornstarch.

    On a second dinner plate combine the following:

    • Panko breadcrumbs (A necessity for maximum crunch!)
    • Paprika
    • Cayenne pepper
    • Pinch of salt

    Now it’s time to bread the pickles!

    Coat each dried pickle in cornstarch, dip in beer batter, and dredge in seasoned panko.

    To air fry, put the breaded pickles into the air fryer basket, and spray with oil. Air fry at 360 degrees for 8 minutes, stopping once to flip.

    To pan fry, bring a non-stick skillet to a medium high heat with oil. Add breaded pickles and fry for 3 minutes on one side, flip, and fry for a couple more on the other side.

    Move the fried pickle slices to a towel lined plate to drain. Finish with a pinch of salt.

    Make them your own

    You can make these fried pickles your own by omitting the beer in the batter or varying the seasonings.

    If you’d prefer to omit the beer, simply use an equal amount of water in its place.

    Instead of paprika/cayenne/salt as the seasonings, use your favorite seasoning salt or Italian seasoning. Slap Ya Mama seasoning salt would be very good here.

    What sauce should I serve with fried pickles?

    Fried pickles are best with a dipping sauce. I recommend any of the following:

    • Vegan ranch dressing
    • Vegan blue cheese dressing
    • Sriracha mayo
    • Special sauce
    • Creamy cashew salad dressing
    • Lemon garlic aioli

    How to store & reheat

    If you have any fried pickles leftover, they are terrific reheated in the air fryer.

    Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days. Then reheat by air frying at 360 degrees for 6 minutes.
