Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 1/2 (16 ounce) jars spicy dill pickle spears, drained and patted dry
cooking spray
Instructions
1. Combine flour and paprika in a bowl. Whisk milk and beaten egg together in a second bowl. Place panko in a third bowl.
2. Heat an air fryer to 400 Fahrenheit according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Dredge one pickle spear in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture to coat, then lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into panko to thoroughly coat. Place breaded pickle onto a plate. Repeat for remaining pickles.
4. Spray breaded pickles lightly with cooking spray.
5. Place into the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
6. Cook until panko is golden brown, about 14 minutes, turning halfway through.
Notes
Pat pickles completely dry with paper towels before dredging to ensure the breading sticks.
Do not crowd the basket; airflow is key to a crispy texture.
Serve immediately with cold ranch dressing or a garlic aioli.
