Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp nonstick spray or can use cooking oil
- 1 lb catfish nuggets
- 1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs or flour, almond flour, unseasoned breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Prep air fryer basket with nonstick spray or brush with oil, so breading does not stick to the basket.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of seasoned breadcrumbs onto a plate.
- Dip catfish nuggets in breadcrumbs, on both sides. Then lay them in the air fryer basket.
- Once all nuggets have been breaded and placed in air fryer, close it up. Heat at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Note that there is no need to flip these nuggets. They will still brown up on both sides.
- When cooking time is over, carefully remove catfish nuggets from air fryer using spatula. Place on serving plate.

Notes
- This recipe uses seasoned breadcrumbs, but you can also try plain flour, almond flour (keto-friendly) or even plain (no breading)
- If the breadcrumbs do not come seasoned, simply top catfish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper before dipping in the breadcrumbs or flour
- Flipping the nuggets during cooking time is not necessary, as it might disturb the breading, but you are welcome to do so if you prefer
