INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

- Arrange the coated pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not touching or overlapping.
- Lightly spray the pickles with cooking spray or olive oil spray.

- Once the Air-Fried Pickles are done, remove them from the air fryer.
- Serve the pickles hot with your preferred dipping sauce, such as vegan ranch or spicy mayo.
