Directions

1. Let pickles stand on a paper towel 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 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.

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.
