Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 fennel bulb
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • olive oil for spraying

Instruction

  • Trim the bottom of the fennel bulb and the top at the point the stalks emerge from the bulb.
  • Remove the outer layer if it is blemished. (Reserve and use it to make fennel cream).
  • Lightly whisk the egg in a separate bowl.
  • Add bread crumbs to a separate bowl.
  • Slice the fennel bulb vertically about in to about 1/2" slices. Err on the side of thickness. Handle gently so the slices hold their shape.
  • Dredge each slice through the egg and then the bread crumbs.
  • Spray your air fryer tray and both sides of the fennel slices with olive oil.
  • Air fry about 12 minutes flipping at halfway point. Exchange trays if using 2 trays at mid point as well. (See note below for regular oven).
  • Slices should be crispy golden with a soft interior. Rearrange trays and add another minute or so if need to crisp up the coating uniformly.
  • Serve warm.
