Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Drain the pickles in a colander, then lay them flat and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Add the flour, cornmeal, and cajun seasoning to a gallon ziplock bag. Seal the bag and shake until the ingredients are blended.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and mustard until combined.
- Add the dry pickle chips to the mayo and mustard mixture and use a fork to move the pickles around until they're coated.
- Move some of the pickles into the ziplock bag, and shake until they're well coated. Transfer the breaded pickle chips to a tray, and continue until all of the pickles have been dredged.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil, and place the pickles in it, making sure not to overcrowd them. Spray the tops of the pickles with more cooking spray.
- Air fry the pickle slices for 10 minutes. Flip them halfway through and lightly spray the other side with cooking spray.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, tartar sauce, bang bang sauce, and remoulade sauce.

Notes
Cajun Seasoning: We love our Homemade Cajun Seasoning, but if you would like to use store-bought we highly recommend Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning.
Storage: Fried pickles are best eaten immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in a 325°F air fryer for 5 minutes, or until warm throughout.
Salt: This recipe doesn't need salt, because the pickles are very salty already, and the cajun seasoning has salt in it.
Cooking Spray: It's very important to use the cooking spray, because the breading on the fried pickles can dry out otherwise.
