almond flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Ground oats provide a similar texture with fewer calories.

cornmeal

Breadcrumbs are often less expensive and can provide a crispy texture.

Start by selecting 6 ounces of sandwich stacker pickles, preferably the long thin cut ones.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of almond milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and set aside to curdle for a few minutes.

Prepare three containers for a dry-wet-dry dredging process.

In the first container, mix 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

In the second container, add 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine.

Check on the curdled almond milk, then pour it into a third container for dredging.

Take a pickle slice, coat it in the flour mixture, shake off excess flour, then dip it into the curdled almond milk, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.

Repeat the dredging process for all pickle slices, switching hands to avoid getting club fingers from the coating.

Fill the air fryer basket with the coated pickles, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer.

Lightly spray the pickles with canola oil using a sprayer.

Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, flip the pickles gently to check the other side, and spray with a little more oil if desired.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fried pickles from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best crispiness.
