Baked Fried Pickles

Awhile back I heard about fried pickles and wasn’t sure but I wanted to try them.  Finally I had them at Smash Burger, and I still wasn’t sure if I liked them.  I tried them again later and I thought these are pretty good.  So this led me to try to make my own. 

I decided to try and bake them instead of frying them because I figured it would be simpler and easier.  So I searched and found an onion ring recipe online and thought why not try it with pickles instead

  • 1 1/2 cups cornflakes
  • 1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • Dill pickle chips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  1. Drain pickles and let dry a little bit on a paper towel

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Crunch up the cornflakes and mix breadcrumbs in a pie plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, flour, and cayenne and season with salt and pepper.

  1. Pour oil onto a rimmed baking sheet. Place in oven and heat 2 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and tilt to coat evenly with oil. Arrange pickles on sheet

  1. Dip pickle chips in egg mixture (letting excess drip off) and dredge in cornflake mixture; place on the baking sheet. Bake, turning once, until pickles are golden brown, about 16 minutes. Season with salt
I have also used
  • 1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, quartered crosswise and broken into rings (discard small center rings)
  • Pickled jalapenos
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • fresh green chiles
  • Pickle spears
