I fell in love with fried jalapeño slices at a Tulsa, Oklahoma casino restaurant. I wanted to recreate them without deep frying, so I used my air fryer! The air-fried version turned out even crispier. Don't forget the ranch for dipping!

Ingredients

0.25 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1.5 cups pickled jalapeno pepper slices, drained
nonstick cooking spray
1 cup ranch salad dressing

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) following the manufacturer's directions.
Put the flour in one bowl, beat the eggs in another, and place the bread crumbs in a third bowl.
Coat each jalapeño slice in flour, shaking off any extra. Dip it in the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Then, press it into the bread crumbs until fully coated. Place the breaded slices on a plate, making sure they don't overlap. Repeat with the remaining slices.
Arrange the breaded jalapeño slices in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't overlap. Cook in batches. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip and spray again. Cook for another 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining slices. Serve immediately with ranch dressing.
