Follow these simple steps to create your Air Fryer French Toast Sticks effortlessly:

1. Prepare the Bread: Cut each slice of bread into strips, approximately 1-2 inches wide. This will make the perfect size for dipping and eating.
2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt until well combined.
3. Dip the Bread: Submerge each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow it to soak for a few seconds, then shake off any excess.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange the Sticks: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the dipped bread sticks in a single layer. Ensure they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
6. Air Fry: Cook in the preheated air fryer for 10-12 minutes. Flip the sticks halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
7. Check for Doneness: The French toast sticks should be golden brown and crispy. If you prefer them a bit crispier, cook for an additional 2 minutes, checking frequently.
8. Cool Slightly: Once done, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
9. Serve: Enjoy immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruits.

With these straightforward steps, your Air Fryer French Toast Sticks will turn out incredibly delicious, bringing joy to your breakfast table!
