Notes
- The breading process can make for a sticky mess on your fingers, so here's a breading tip: Use one hand for the dry ingredients, and the other for the wet (beaten egg). It can feel a bit awkward at first but it really speeds up the process once you get the hang of it.
- If you have fresh basil, you can substitute one tablespoon of that, chopped, for the dried basil.
- Air fryers vary in size, so the size of your appliance will determine how many pieces you can air fry at once. You will be doing them in batches, so it's a good idea to keep them in a low oven as they cook.
