Air Fryer Fish Nuggets
Air Fryer Fish Nuggets are sure to please the whole family. Bitesized pieces of cod are coated in flour, eggs and panko and air fried until golden.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 pound cod cut into bite sized pieces
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- non-stick spray
Instructions
- Season the fish pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
- Set up an assembly line with 3 bowls: flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs together in another bowl and the panko, salt, and granulated garlic in another bowl.
- Dredge the pieces in the flour, then dip in eggs and press into bread crumbs.
- Spray the air fryer rack and the fish with non-stick spray. Air fry at 400 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes. Turn halfway through and spray once more with non-stick spray.
- If cooking in batches, place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and put cooked fish pieces on top. Place in a warm oven until all fish is cooked.
Notes
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the fish in batches. You want it to be in a single layer when cooking.
I keep the cooked in a warm oven while I'm cooking all the batches. Don't cover with aluminum foil as it tends to steam the outside so it won't be as crispy. Instead, I like to place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and put the cooked fish on that. It allows the air to circulate around the fish.
