- Babybel Cheese
- Traditional breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes or gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg or vegan alternative (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water or non-dairy yogurt)
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Start by removing the wax coating from the Babybel cheese. This is crucial because the cheese needs to be exposed for air frying.
- In one bowl, crack an egg and whisk it until well beaten. In another bowl, add your breadcrumbs and seasonings, mixing them together to ensure an even distribution.
- Dip each Babybel cheese into the egg, making sure it’s fully coated. Next, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps achieve that perfect crispy exterior.
- Place the coated Babybel cheeses in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Be sure to leave some space between them for even cooking. Air fry for 7-8 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once time is up, carefully remove the Babybel cheeses. They will be hot and gooey inside, so let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve your Air Fried Babybel Cheese with dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or even a spicy aioli for a delicious snack!
