Vegan Air-Fried Pickles (oil-free)
Vegan air-fried pickles are fried in the air-fryer without any added oil. Salty and crispy - these make the perfect plant-based fun appetizer.
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 pickles sliced I use Manhattan style whole kosher dill pickles
- 1 cup aquafaba chickpea liquid (put chickpeas away for later and save the liquid when straining)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs of choice
Hemp Seed Ranch
- ½ cup hemp seeds
- ¾ cup water
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tsp dried dill
Instructions
- Prepare two bowls. Add aquafaba to one bowl and breadcrumbs to another. This will be your assembly station.
- Preheat air-fryer to 400 degrees F. Slice pickles about ½ inch thick. Dip each pickle slice in aquafaba first then in the breadcrumbs. Coat evenly. Place pickles on a plate or on parchment.
- Add the pickles into the air-fryer and cook for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown.
- Enjoy!
Hemp Seed Ranch
- Blend all hemp seed ranch ingredient in a high speed blender until smooth.
Notes
I had to make mine in 2 rounds because they didn't all fit.
Feel free to spray a little olive oil on them if you want EXTRA crispy but if you're oil-free don't worry about it!
OVEN METHOD: bake in the oven on baking + parchment paper at 475 degrees F for 25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy!
