Ingredients
Pickles
- Dill pickles, sliced into fry-sized pieces
Dry Coating Mixture
- All-purpose flour
- Natural gelling agent
- Garlic powder (natural)
- Onion powder (natural)
- Paprika (natural)
- Salt
- Pepper
Batter
- Plant-based egg replacer
- Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Plant-based milk
Crunchy Coating
- Panko breadcrumbs
- Plant-based Parmesan cheese
Additional
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Pickles: Slice dill pickles lengthwise into evenly sized fry shapes for uniform cooking. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the coating stick better and prevents sogginess.
- Create the Coating Mixtures: In one bowl, mix all-purpose flour, natural gelling agent, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, combine the plant-based egg replacer with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and enough plant-based milk to form a batter. In a third bowl, toss together panko breadcrumbs and plant-based Parmesan cheese.
- Coat the Pickle Fries: Dip each pickle fry first into the flour mixture, then submerge into the batter, and finally roll in the breadcrumb and cheese mixture until fully coated. Ensure each fry is evenly covered to maximize crunch.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the coated pickle fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Lightly spray with olive oil spray to help crisp them up. Bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
- Serve Warm: Once golden and crispy, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve immediately with your favorite dips for a flavorful snacking experience.
Notes
- Dry the pickle slices thoroughly before coating to prevent sogginess.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to avoid sticking and ease cleanup.
- Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto each fry to ensure maximum crunchiness.
- Flip fries carefully halfway through baking for consistent crisping on all sides.
- Serve fries promptly after baking to enjoy them at their crispiest.
