Air Fryer Crispy Wiener Schnitzel
Ingredients
  • 1 pound veal, scallopini cut
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to its maximum temperature, 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), by adjusting the control knob or using a thermometer to ensure accuracy.
2
Prepare the veal cutlets on a clean, flat surface by sprinkling them with lemon juice, salt, and pepper to enhance their flavor and texture.
3
In a separate dish, mix together flour, egg, and parsley to create a binding agent that will help hold the bread crumbs in place.
4
In another dish, place bread crumbs and press them down gently to ensure they adhere evenly.
5
Dredge each veal cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it first in the egg-parsley mixture, coating it evenly, followed by a layer of bread crumbs.
6
Before cooking, lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
7
Carefully place the breaded veal cutlets into the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
8
Finish the veal cutlets by spraying the tops with nonstick cooking spray, ensuring they are evenly coated.
9
Cook the veal cutlets for 5 minutes, then carefully flip them over and spray any areas that may have become dry or chalky with nonstick cooking spray.
10
Continue cooking the veal cutlets for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
11
Repeat the cooking process with any remaining veal cutlets, adjusting the cooking time as needed to prevent overcooking.
12
Serve the crispy veal cutlets hot, accompanied by a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a side of your choice.
