The feta bites in air fryer are a tasty snack perfect for an aperitif or a great appetizer accompanied by a good white wine or a light non-alcoholic cocktail. But the feta bites in air fryer are also delicious to add to salads or cold dishes in the summer. Preparing them is very easy, and you can choose to coat them with breadcrumbs as I did or with crushed corn flakes for an even crunchier effect.

Ingredients
- 7 oz feta in cubes
- 1 egg
- as needed breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Tools
- 2 Bowls
- 1 Mini Whisk
- 1 Air Fryer Cosori
- 1 Oil Sprayer
- 1 Perforated Parchment Paper for Air Fryer
Steps
Drain the feta from its maturation liquid. Transfer it to a bowl with cold water for ten minutes. This step is optional. It only serves to slightly lighten the strong taste of feta and is not necessary if you and your guests prefer it more intense. Beat the egg in a bowl and dip the feta cubes in it, then roll them in breadcrumbs. Place them on the air fryer rack with the appropriate perforated parchment paper, spray them with a bit of extra virgin olive oil, and cook at 356 °F for fifteen minutes. You can serve the feta cubes plain or drizzle them with acacia honey.
Notes
I prefer to buy feta in cubes, but for this preparation, the classic block cut into cubes works just fine.
