Description

Breaded veal cutlets, better known as Wiener schnitzel, turn out rich, tender, and juicy when made in the air fryer.

Ingredients

1 pound veal, scallopini cut
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 cup panko bread crumbs
nonstick cooking spray
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

1 Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Place veal on a clean work surface and sprinkle with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3 Place flour in a flat dish. Beat egg and parsley together in a second dish. Place bread crumbs in a third dish. Dredge each veal cutlet first in flour, then in egg-parsley mixture, followed by bread crumbs, pressing down so that bread crumbs adhere.
4 Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Place breaded veal cutlets into the basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.
5 Cook for 5 minutes. Flip, spray any chalky spots with nonstick cooking spray, and cook for 5 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining veal. Serve with lemon wedges.
