- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
- Arrange the breaded pickles in a single layer inside the basket, ensuring they are not crowded.

- Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping the pickles halfway through, until they are crispy and golden.
- Remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
