Air Fryer Stuffed Pickles

1️⃣ Prepare the Pickles:
• Cut pickles in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out a little center for stuffing.
• Pat them dry with paper towels.
2️⃣ Make the Filling:
• In a bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, and black pepper.
• Spoon or pipe the filling into the hollowed-out pickles.
3️⃣ Bread the Pickles:
• Place flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and mix panko, Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a third.
• Dip each stuffed pickle into flour, then egg, then panko mixture, pressing gently to coat.
4️⃣ Air Fry the Stuffed Pickles:
• Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
• Arrange pickles in a single layer and spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
• Let cool slightly and serve with ranch, spicy mayo, or garlic aioli for dipping!

💡 Pro Tip:
For extra crispiness, freeze breaded pickles for 15 minutes before air frying!
