Ingredients

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 eggs

2 cups panko bread crumbs

1 1/2 cups pickled jalapeño pepper slices, drained

nonstick cooking spray

1 cup ranch salad dressing

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour and a pinch of salt. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Place the panko bread crumbs in a third bowl.

Dredge the jalapeño slices through the flour, then egg, and finally coat them in the panko mixture. Ensure they're fully coated.

Place the jalapeño rings in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Air-fry for 4 minutes, then flip the rings and spray with more cooking spray. Continue to cook for another 4 minutes. Repeat this process with any remaining rings.

While the jalapeño rings are cooking, prepare the ranch dip by mixing together the ranch salad dressing and a squeeze of lemon juice (optional).

Serve the jalapeño rings hot with the ranch dip on the side for dipping.
