Ingredients

• 32 dill pickle slices
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups panko bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill
• Cooking spray

Directions

• Preheat air fryer to 400°. Let pickles stand on a paper towel until liquid is almost absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, combine flour and salt. In another shallow bowl, whisk eggs, pickle juice, cayenne and garlic powder. Combine panko and dill in a third shallow bowl.
• Dip pickles in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere. In batches, place pickles in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 7-10 minutes. Turn pickles; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 7-10 minutes longer. Serve immediately. If desired, serve with ranch dressing.
