Ingredients
- 1 lb cheese curds preferably at room temperature
- ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika optional for extra flavor
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs
- cooking spray for the air fryer basket
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- In a third bowl, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs or panko.
- Take each cheese curd and first coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured curd into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Finally, roll the curd in the breadcrumbs until fully coated, shaking off any extra in the end. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining cheese curds.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the breaded cheese curds in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. You may need to work in batches, frying just a few curds at a time to not overcrow the pan depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Lightly spray the tops of the cheese curds with cooking spray. This will help them get a nice golden color.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese curds are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the cooking time, gently shake the basket or use tongs to turn the cheese curds to ensure even cooking.
- Once done, carefully remove the cheese curds from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two. They will be very hot inside.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch dressing, or a gluten-free spicy mayo.
