Notes
- Breading Tip: To make the breading easier (and less messy) try to keep one hand dry and only use it to coat the pieces in the flour and bread crumbs. Use your other hand for the egg mixture. This will help keep your breadcrumbs dry!
- Cooking Tip: If you are cooking them in batches, keep the ones that are done in a low oven on a sheet pan. That way, they stay warm as you finish cooking the rest!
- Serving Tip: These are great as a healthy appetizer with dipping sauces on the side or serve it as a side dish. We love them with pork, chicken, and with hamburgers!
- Storage Tip: These are best when they are hot and crispy from the air fryer. If you have leftovers, they will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but the breading will soften.
