Ingredients
Scale
Dipping Mix
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 2 eggs
Breading
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Main Ingredient
- 24 oz dill pickle spears
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dipping Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the skim milk and eggs until well combined to create the batter for coating the pickles.
- Mix Breading: In another medium bowl, thoroughly combine the seasoned breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese to make a flavorful breading mixture.
- Dry Pickles: Pat each dill pickle spear completely dry using paper towels, which is crucial for achieving a crispy coating that adheres well.
- Coat Pickles: Dip each dried pickle spear first into the egg and milk mixture, then dredge it in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, ensuring each is evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated pickles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each to promote even crisping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the fries turn crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through if desired for even cooking.
- Serve: Serve the dill pickle fries hot with your favorite yogurt dill dressing for dipping and enjoy the tangy, crunchy snack.
Notes
- Use any variety of milk from skim to whole according to your preference.
- For dairy allergies, substitute with plant-based milk and omit the Parmesan or use a vegan Parmesan alternative.
- Use large, shallow bowls or pie plates to accommodate the size of the pickle spears for more convenient breading.
- This recipe can also be made with dill pickle chips, though cooking time may vary.
- If you have extra breadcrumbs and egg mixture, feel free to make a second batch of fries if you have additional pickle spears.
- For an alternative cooking method, air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes, flip, then cook for another 3-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket and cook in batches if necessary.
