Making Easy Air Fryer Fried Pickles is straightforward with this simple list of steps:

1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare the pickles.
2. Drain Pickles: Remove the pickles from the jar and drain them well. Pat them dry with a paper towel to increase crispiness.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). In another bowl, beat the eggs.
4. Coat the Pickles: Dip each pickle slice or spear into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated. Shake off the excess flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally, back into the flour mixture to coat again.
5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Arrange the breaded pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking; you may need to do this in batches.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the coated pickles with cooking spray to help create a crispy exterior.
7. Air Fry: Cook the pickles in the preheated air fryer for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
8. Cool: Remove the pickles from the air fryer and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
