• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
2. Blend oats in a food processor until fine like breadcrumbs to make oat flour.
3. Mix oat flour with Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
4. Dip each tender in beaten egg, then press into oat mixture to coat evenly.
5. Place coated tenders in a single layer in the basket (batch if needed to avoid crowding); lightly spritz tops with olive oil spray.
