Getting Started

For truly crisp coatings, spray or brush your breaded items with a light layer of oil (avocado or olive oil) before air frying. This aids browning and prevents dryness.
Ensure your air fryer basket is not overcrowded. Cook in single layers, allowing hot air to circulate evenly around each piece. Flip items halfway through cooking for uniform crispness.
Beyond almond flour and parmesan, finely crushed pork rinds make an excellent, extra-crispy keto bread crumb substitute. Season them well for optimal flavor.
Eggs are essential for adhering keto bread crumbs. For a thicker coating, try a double-dip method: egg, crumbs, then egg again, followed by another layer of crumbs.
