    These vegan & gluten-free oven-fried pickles are the perfect game day snack. Fried pickles are one of my all-time favorite bar foods, and this take on the recipe makes them acceptable any day of the week!

    What You’ll Need To Make Oven-Fried Pickles:

    • Dill Pickles (whole or chips)
    • Almond Flour
    • Cornstarch
    • Nutritional Yeast
    • Seasonings:
      • Smoked Paprika
      • Onion Powder
      • Garlic Powder
      • Cayenne
      • White Pepper
      • Salt
    • Vegan Butter or Oil
    • Ingredients for the Ranch Sauce:
      • Vegan Mayo
      • Vegan Cream Cheese
      • Scallions
      • Lemon Juice
      • Almond Milk
      • Seasonings

    How to Make Oven-Fried Pickles

    Since we aren't using a fryer, this recipe is actually super quick and easy! Only one bowl and one sheet pan required!

    If you have an air-fryer, this recipe works great with it!

    First, Slice Pickles & Mix the Dredge

    If you chose to use whole pickles, take this time to pat them dry and thinly slice them into chips.

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of super-fine almond flour with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast, as well as all of the seasonings listed above.

    Then, Mix & Bake the Pickles

    Toss in the sliced pickles with the flour mix until each piece is coated with the dredge.

    Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lay the pickles out evenly, without touching.

    Either melt 1 tablespoon of vegan butter and baste each pickle chip or lightly spray them with cooking oil.

    Bake at 400 degrees for 25-27 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

    Finally, Make the Ranch Sauce 

    The vegan ranch is so simple! Just mix together 1 tablespoon of vegan mayo, 1.5 tablespoon vegan cream cheese, chopped green onions, onion powder & garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of almond milk.

    Ingredient Substitutions:

    For the most part, this recipe is very straightforward and you might even have all the ingredients already!

    If you don't have nutritional yeast, not a problem! Just omit and add a bit more salt & garlic powder.

    Instead of almond flour, feel free to use regular flour, whole wheat flour, or another gluten-free flour of your choice! However, I would not recommend using coconut flour for this recipe.

    Make it WFPB! (Whole-food, plant-based)

    WFPB avoids animal products as well as oils, refined sugars and grains, and processed foods.

    Luckily, this recipe is pretty close to WFPB already! Almond flour is perfect for this, as it is made from a whole food. Simply omit the butter or oil, and cut back or omit the amount of salt.

    For the ranch sauce, I recommend replacing the cream cheese and mayo with a cashew cream base. You'll also want to omit the salt in this or replace it with miso paste.
