Before preparing your dish, preheat the air fryer to 375F degrees and spray the bottom of the air basket with non-stick cooking spray.
Using a bread knife, slice each piece of bread into thirds. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, butter and vanilla until the mixture is fully blended.
In another small bowl, combine the cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar until well blended. Set aside.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture on both sides until the piece is fully coated, but not soggy.
Lightly sprinkle each piece with the sugar mixture before placing it inside the air basket. Leave a little space between sticks. Air needs to circulate around them to cook properly.
Bake the French toast sticks inside the air fryer on 375F degrees for 6 minutes.
When cooking time is complete, the French toast should be light and crispy.
Serve immediately with maple syrup for dipping. If desired, gently sprinkle powdered sugar over the sticks as well.
Notes
Syrup and powdered sugar are not calculated in nutritional value.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Food does not cook properly or evenly when air cannot circulate well in an air fryer.
This recipe can easily be doubled.
Make sure you use a thicker bread such as Texas Toast or purchase a whole loaf of bread that you can slice yourself into thicker pieces.
