Season the grouper with your favorite seasonings. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Coat the grouper nuggets in flour. This will help them crisp up in the air fryer.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cook the grouper nuggets in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Serve the grouper nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
