Practical Cooking Tips
- Lightly spray the coated slices with oil before air frying to help them crisp up.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Step 1
Lightly heat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Give the basket a quick spray with some cooking spray to keep things from sticking. In one shallow dish, crack an egg and beat it lightly. In another, mix together the cornmeal, flour, panko, salt, and pepper. Take each tomato slice and dip it into the egg, then coat it well on both sides with the cornmeal mixture.
Step 2
Arrange the coated tomatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Give them a light spray of cooking spray on top to help them get crispy. Cook for about 8 minutes, then flip each slice over. If you notice any dry spots, spray those again. Cook for another 4 minutes or until the tomatoes are golden and crispy. Transfer the cooked slices to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with any remaining tomatoes.
