Ingredients
- 1.5 - 2 pounds cod fillets thawed and sliced into 1-inch sticks
- 2-3 eggs beaten
- 1 ½ cups plain breadcrumbs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- extra virgin olive oil or non-stick spray
- lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Slice the fish fillets into 1-inch sticks.
- Next, set up your breading station: In one shallow bowl, add flour to a bowl and in another, beat the eggs. In the 3rd bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 5 minutes.
- Dredge each piece of fish in flour, dip them in the egg mixture, and lastly, dredge them in breadcrumbs. Place each of the fish pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray or brush it with oil and air fry the fish sticks in a single layer at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, spraying with oil and flipping each of them halfway. Your crispy air fryer fish sticks should reach at least an internal temperature of 145°F to be safe to eat.
- Let your golden brown homemade fish sticks rest for 5 minutes before serving them with lemon wedges, french fries, homemade tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
