Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes.

Air Fryer Van De Kamp’s Fish Sticks Recipe Tips

• Preheat for Best Results: Preheating the air fryer ensures a crispy exterior and even cooking. Always preheat for 3-5 minutes before adding the fish sticks.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Arrange the fish sticks in a single layer in the basket. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and less crispy results.
• Flip Halfway: To achieve an even crispiness, flip the fish sticks halfway through the cooking time.
• Check Early: Air fryers vary in performance. Start checking for doneness a minute or two before the recommended cooking time to avoid overcooking.
• Season to Taste: If desired, sprinkle additional seasoning on the fish sticks before cooking for extra flavor.
• Serve Immediately: For the best texture and taste, serve the fish sticks right after they come out of the air fryer. They are perfect with dipping sauces like tartar sauce or ketchup.
