1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

2

In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper.

3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.

4

In a third shallow dish, combine the panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

5

Dredge each cheese curd in the flour mixture, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with the panko mixture. Make sure the curds are fully coated.

6

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray.
