-
3
Spray air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray. Place cutlets in single layer (do not overlap).
-
4
Spray tops of cutlets with olive oil spray for optimal browning.
-

💡 Chef's Insider Tip:
A light mist of olive oil spray directly on the dry panko breadcrumbs activates the browning reaction in the air fryer.
