LIGHTLY BREADED AIR FRYER TILAPIA

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Meanwhile, pat each tilapia filet dry with a paper towel, then spray with avocado oil spray and sprinkle with salt.
• Mix panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder in a shallow dish. Place each tilapia filet in the dish and coat with breading. (You most likely won't use up all of the breading.)
• (This is where the magic happens.) Place the breaded filets on a sheet of parchment paper. Lay another piece of parchment paper on top. Use a rolling pin to gently roll over the filets and press the breading into the fish. This step helps the breading adhere to the fish for maximum crispiness!
• Add the tilapia to the preheated air fryer and cook for 7 minutes (or until the fish reaches 145°F).
• Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice!
