Drain the dill pickle slices and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs and milk, and one with seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt

Dip each pickle slice into the flour, shaking off excess

Then dip into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off

Press each slice into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated on both sides

Place the coated pickles on a plate and lightly spray both sides with cooking oil

Preheat the air fryer to 190 °C (375 °F)

Arrange the coated pickle slices in an even layer in the air fryer basket — do not overcrowd

Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp

Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving
