The Crispy Feta in Air Fryer is a simple and quick recipe, perfect for those looking for a tasty appetizer or a light yet flavorful finger food. Thanks to the air fryer cooking, the feta turns out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with very little oil and no traditional frying.
Feta is a traditional Greek semi-ripened and crumbly cheese, a highlight of their cuisine. Its texture, which softens during cooking without melting, is perfect for this kind of preparation. You can serve it with some honey or balsamic glaze. It is not necessary to add salt to the preparation, as feta is already savory.
You can cut the feta into cubes or sticks like in my version with sesame seeds of similar size, taking care not to break it.
