Ingredients

• 20 dill pickle slices, thick-cut
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Cooking spray or oil for baking

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil.
2. Set up breading stations: Place flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with shredded cheddar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third.
3. Coat the pickle slices: Dredge each pickle slice in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with the cheesy panko mixture. Press gently to adhere.
4. Bake until golden: Arrange coated pickle slices on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
5. Serve and enjoy: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Pair with ranch, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

• Use thick-cut pickles for best results.
• Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes for extra crispiness.
• Swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor.
• Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder for a spicy kick.
• Serve as a fun appetizer or snack platter addition.

Storage & Freezer Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store leftover baked chips in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Freezer: Freeze uncooked coated pickles on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
• Best served fresh and crispy; reheating in the oven or air fryer restores crunch.

Serving & Pairing Ideas

• Serve with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or aioli.
• Add to a snack platter alongside mozzarella sticks, fries, and wings.
• Great for game days, movie nights, or casual get-togethers.
