- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- extra-virgin olive oil spray

Instructions
Prep the Pickles
- Drain the pickles and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy coating.
Set Up Breading Stations
- In the first bowl, place the flour.
- In the second bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
- In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
Bread the Pickles
- Dredge each pickle slice in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Press into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Place the breaded pickles on a plate or tray.
Air Fry
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't overlap.
- Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
- Remove the pickles from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Once your breading stations are set up, use a different hand for wet and dry ingredients so you don't bread your fingers instead of the pickles!
