Reviews
This is the 1st item I made in my air fryer, and it was delicious. Nothing about this is fancy, but it tastes good, and I will be making this again.
This is the “BOMB.” This is by far the easiest recipe I have ever used. And the results, dynamite. The ONLY tweak is this, after I remove the Tilapia from the air fryer I squeeze half a lemon on the crust. Let it absorb and serve. Then add a little lemon zest, voila. We have used this recipe 10+ times and the results are identical and the taste, fantastic. Love Ya!
