Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium tomatoes sliced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and slice the tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Dip each tomato slice into the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks evenly.

Serving

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Arrange the coated tomato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  • Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
