Ingredients:
32 slices dill pickles
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 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 fresh dill, snipped
cooking spray
ranch salad dressing (optional)


Directions:
1) Preheat air fryer to 400°. Let pickles stand on paper towels until liquid is almost absorbed, about 15 minutes.

2) 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.

3) 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, with ranch dressing if desired.
