Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white, then stir in the non-fat milk.
Set up a breading station: Place the flour mixture, the egg-milk mixture, and the panko breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.
Pat the pickle slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each pickle slice first into the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Shake off the excess.
Next, dip each flour-coated pickle into the egg-milk mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
Finally, coat the pickle slice with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the breaded pickle slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the pickles with olive oil cooking spray to ensure crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, flipping the pickles halfway through the cooking time.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
