Pro Tips for Success:

  • Pat the pickles super dry before breading—this helps them get extra crispy in the oven.

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for an even crunchier texture if you like a bigger bite.

  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix if you want a little heat with your crunch.

  • Use a wire rack on your baking sheet for maximum crispiness on all sides—no soggy bottoms!

  • Try different pickle flavors like spicy dill or bread & butter for a fun twist.
