Ingredients and Notes

  • Cod cut into strips 
  • Gluten-free breadcrumbs 
  • Salt

  • Dried Parsley
  • Cooking Spray

Step 2: Cook

Place the coated fish strips in your air fryer making sure to space them well (you can cook them in batches if needed).

Spray the tops of the fish sticks with a bit more cooking spray and then bake for 10 minutes or until crispy golden brown.

Step 3: Serve
