OVEN-FRIED DILL PICKLES

OVEN-FRIED DILL PICKLES
I found this in the Diabetic Living magazine.  We liked it.

  • tablespoons low-fat (1%) buttermilk
  •  egg
  •  30 crinkle-cut dill pickle slices (about 1 cup), rinsed, drained, and patted dry
  •  1/2 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
  •  tablespoon yellow cornmeal
  •  1/2 teaspoon paprika
  •  1/4-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  •  1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
  2.  In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk and egg. Add drained pickles, stirring to coat evenly.
  3.  In a food processor combine panko, cornmeal, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder; cover and process about 20 seconds or until evenly fine. Transfer mixture to a shallow dish.
  4.  Working in batches, add a few buttermilk-coated pickles to the panko mixture, stirring with a fork to coat. Shake off excess crumbs. Arrange pickles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pickles. Discard excess buttermilk and panko mixtures.
  5.  Lightly coat tops of pickles with cooking spray. Bake 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn pickles over. Bake 8 to 10 minutes more or until browned and crisp. Serve immediately.
