Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain the pickle chips and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream to make an egg wash.
- In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Dip each pickle chip into the egg wash, shaking off any excess, then coat it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
- Place the coated pickle chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not touching each other.
- Lightly spray the pickle chips with cooking spray or olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
- Air fry the pickles at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- While the pickles are frying, prepare the ranch dip. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped dill, chopped parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, dried chives, salt, and pepper. If desired, add lemon juice for extra tang.
- Once the pickles are done, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately with the ranch dip on the side
