Frequently Asked Questions

→ How do I keep the pickles crispy?

Pat the pickle chips dry before coating, and don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Spray with oil for extra crispiness.

→ Can I use different pickles?

While dill pickle chips work best, you can try spicy or sweet pickle chips. Just make sure they're well-drained.

→ Why are my pickles not crispy enough?

Make sure to spray with oil and cook at 400°F. Don't stack pickles - they need space for air circulation.

→ Can I make the sauce ahead?

Yes, the sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge. The flavors actually improve over time.

→ How do I reheat leftover pickles?

Pop them back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F to crisp them up again.
