Ingredients

• ▢32 thick dill pickle slices
• ▢½ cup all-purpose flour
• ▢2 eggs
• ▢2 Tablespoons pickle juice
• ▢1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs
• ▢½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢½ teaspoon dried dill
• ▢Non-stick cooking spray
• ▢Ranch dressing for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Drain pickles well and pat dry with a paper towel.
3. Add flour to a small bowl. In a different bowl, whisk together eggs and pickle juice. In a third bowl combine bread crumbs and seasonings.
4. Dredge pickles in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture and then into the Panko crumbs, pressing the crumbs to adhere to the pickle and completely cover it.
5. Spray one side of each pickle with non-stick cooking spray and place in the air fryer basket, sprayed side up, in a single layer. You will need to work in batches if you have a smaller air fryer.
6. Cook until golden brown and crispy about 5 minutes, flip spray the other side with non-stick cooking spray and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve with ranch dressing if desired.
