  6. Dip each pickle slice into the flour mixture first, then the egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs.
  7. Arrange the coated pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray them with cooking spray.

For an extra kick, sprinkle cayenne pepper or paprika into your breadcrumb mixture. Ensure you don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket for maximum crispiness.
