Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Mixing Bowl
- Spoon
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 large dill pickles halved lengthwise
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1-2 tbsp diced jalapeños optional but encouraged
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp olive oil spray or melted butter for crispy coating
Instructions
- Slice pickles lengthwise and scoop out the centers to make little 'boats.'
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, jalapeños, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
- Fill each pickle half with the cheese mixture. Let it slightly overflow.
- Press the stuffed side into panko breadcrumbs to coat well. Spray with olive oil.
- Place stuffed pickles breadcrumb-side-up in the air fryer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes until golden.
- Let cool for 1–2 minutes. Serve warm with dipping sauce of choice.
Notes
Pat pickles dry before stuffing for a crispier result. Substitute jalapeños with red pepper flakes or omit entirely. For a low-carb version, try crushed pork rinds instead of panko.
