01
Step 1
Start by heating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and ranch seasoning until it’s smooth and well blended. Transfer the mixture into a plastic bag, then snip off a tiny corner so you can pipe the filling easily into the olives.

Step 2
Next, set up a little breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. Dip each olive first in flour, then in the egg, back in the flour again, dipped in egg once more, and finally coat it with the breadcrumbs.

Step 3
Place the olives in the air fryer basket in a single layer and give them a quick spray with cooking oil. Cook them for about 8 minutes, giving the basket a good shake halfway through to help them crisp up evenly. Once they’re golden and crispy, they’re ready to enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This snack is a delicious blend of tangy olives and creamy ranch filling. It’s quick to make and perfect for a crispy, flavorful bite. Using an air fryer keeps them light and crunchy without extra oil.
How to serve
Serve these bites warm as an appetizer or party snack. They pair well with a chilled white wine or a fresh garden salad for a light, tasty combo.
Storage & leftovers
