Air fry cod fish fingers are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried version. By using an air fryer, you can achieve that crispy outer coating while keeping the cod fish tender and moist on the inside.
ingredients
- 500g cod fillets, cut into finger-sized strips
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
method
- Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F ).
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut them into finger-sized strips for that classic fish finger shape. This step ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness!
- In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In separate dishes, place the flour and beaten eggs.
- Dip each cod strip first in the flour, then the eggs, and finally the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and crispiness.
- Cook the fish for 8 mins.
- Flip the cod fingers halfway through cooking for even crispiness on all sides.
- Experiment with different seasonings and coatings to customize your fish fingers to your liking.
