- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Coating Station:
- Set up a coating station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
- Coat the Fish Fingers:
- Dredge each fish finger in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured fish fingers into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Coat the fish fingers in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the fish.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket:
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Arrange the coated fish fingers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece for air circulation.
- Air Fry the Fish Fingers:
- Spray the tops of the fish fingers lightly with cooking spray.
- Air fry the fish fingers at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Once the fish fingers are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ketchup, or aioli.
- Enjoy!
Air fryer fish fingers are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for serving as a party appetizer. They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and sure to be a hit with the whole family. Enjoy!
