The air fryer is a healthier alternative to deep frying, reducing fat by up to 75%. However, some oil is necessary for achieving crispiness in breaded foods.
Incorporating oil directly into breadcrumbs ensures even browning and a crunchy texture, providing a more effective method than simply using cooking spray.
You only need a small amount of oil, around 2 tablespoons for every ½ cup of breadcrumbs, which results in much lower fat than deep frying.
Using panko breadcrumbs with oil can yield great results, though they absorb less oil, so adjust accordingly. Homemade breadcrumbs also adapt easily with this method.
