Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Wiener Schnitzel.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for some delicious veal cutlets.
Step 2
On a clean surface, lay out your veal cutlets and drizzle them with fresh lemon juice, giving them a bright, zesty flavor.
Step 3
Season them generously with salt and pepper to your liking, ensuring every bite is packed with taste.
Step 4
Now, let’s set up a simple breading station to make the process smooth and fun.
Step 5
In one dish, pour in some flour; in a second dish, beat an egg and mix in chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor; and in a third dish, place your panko bread crumbs, which will give your cutlets that irresistible crunch.
Step 6
Take each veal cutlet and first dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess to keep things light.
Step 7
Next, dip it into the egg-parsley mixture, allowing it to get nicely coated, and then roll it in the panko bread crumbs, pressing down gently to make sure they stick well.
Step 8
This is where the magic happens! Before you start cooking, spray the air fryer basket with a bit of nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Arrange the breaded veal cutlets in the basket, making sure not to overcrowd them so they can cook evenly.
Step 10
A light spray on top of the cutlets with more nonstick cooking spray will help them achieve that golden-brown finish.
Step 11
Cook the cutlets for about 5 minutes, then flip them over, giving any dry spots a quick spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 12
Cook for another 5 minutes until they are beautifully golden and crispy.
Step 13
Once they’re done, carefully remove the schnitzels from the air fryer and serve them immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for that extra zing.
Step 14
Enjoy your delightful meal, and watch as everyone savors each crispy, flavorful bite!.
