A quick and easy method to cook frozen breaded tilapia fillets in the air fryer, resulting in crispy, golden fish with minimal effort.
2 frozen breaded tilapia fillets
1 teaspoon cooking spray (optional)
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the frozen breaded tilapia fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Lightly spray the fillets with cooking spray to enhance crispiness, if desired.
Cook the fillets at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, carefully flip the fillets over using tongs.
Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the fish is golden brown and crispy.
Check that the internal temperature of the tilapia reaches 145°F (63°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
Remove the fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately.
