Directions
- 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 cilantro in a third shallow bowl. Dip pickles into flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture, then into crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere. Spritz pickles with olive oil spray.
- Arrange half the pickles in a single layer on the Crisper Tray. Slide Crisper Tray into Shelf Position 4. Turn the Function Dial to Air Fry, set the temperature to 400° and set timer to 20 minutes. Cook 5-7 minutes. Turn pickles over and spritz with olive oil spray. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 7-10 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining pickles. Serve immediately. If desired, serve with ranch dressing.
