How to make Air Fryer French Toast Sticks
Step 1: Cut bread into strips and prepare custard
To begin, slice bread into thirds to make sticks. Then, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt.
Step 2: Soak French toast sticks
Next, dip the bread into the egg mixture to soak for about 2 minutes. I don’t like to soak the bread for longer because it can get too soggy and fall apart.
Step 3: Air fry until golden brown
Preheat air fryer to 300F and spray the basket with spray oil. Then, place French toast sticks in the basket.
Air fry at 300F for 5 minutes, flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Increase the air fryer heat to 400F and cook for another 2 minutes just to brown the French toast sticks.
Finally, serve with powdered sugar and maple syrup.
Storage and reheating
Store the cooked air fryer French toast in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. I recommend reheating it in the toaster oven or air fryer.
