Air Fryer Pickles

Air Fryer Pickles
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 Watkins Organic Cayenne Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Organic Garlic Powder
2 cups panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill
Watkins Cooking Spray
Ranch salad dressing, optional
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. Spritz pickles and fryer basket with cooking spray. In batches, place pickles in a single layer in basket and cook until golden brown and crispy, 7-10 minutes. Turn pickles; spritz with additional cooking spray. Continue cooking until golden brown and crispy, 7-10 minutes. Serve immediately. If desired, serve with ranch dressing.
