1. Adjust the air fryer’s temperature to 400 degrees and leave it to preheat. In the meantime, leave the pickles to sit on paper towels for about 15 minutes or until the liquid has nearly completely evaporated.
2. Meanwhile, mix flour and salt in a shallow basin. Whisk eggs, cayenne pepper, pickle juice, and garlic powder together in another shallow basin. In a third small bowl, combine the panko and dill.
3. Shake off excess flour after dipping the dried pickles in the flour mix on both sides. Dip the pickles first in the egg mix, then in the crumb mix, patting them to ensure the coating sticks.
4. Afterward, arrange the coated pickles in a uniform layer (in batches) on a greased tray in the air-fryer basket.
5. Cook the pickles in the air fryer for 7 to 10 minutes, or until they develop a golden brown color and a crispy quality. Turn the pickles over and sprinkle them with cooking spray. Cook them on the other side for another 7 to 10 minutes, or until the other side also turns golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve the air-fried pickles right away, with ranch dressing on the side if desired.
