Prepare about 1 cup of pickle slices.

In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup cornstarch with 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Beat 1 egg and mix it with 1/2 cup of milk to create an egg wash.

In another bowl, combine 1 cup of panko bread crumbs with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Dry the pickle slices thoroughly before coating them.

Coat each pickle slice in the flour and cornstarch mixture, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

Arrange the coated pickles on a rack, ensuring they have space between them for air circulation.

Spray the coated pickles lightly with cooking spray.

Place the rack in the middle of the air fryer oven and set the temperature to 400°F.

Cook for 12 minutes, checking for crispiness.

After 10 minutes, remove the pickles and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Serve with a dipping sauce made of ketchup, spicy mustard, mayonnaise, and a squirt of sriracha.
