Your air fryer is the key to crispy delicious sardines — ready in 10 minutes or less. Depending on how hot your air fryer is set the temperature between 300 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While you can put your sardines directly in the air fryer you can also dredge them in flour or panko breadcrumbs to create a crispier crust. You can also add extra seasonings to give your sardines more flavor.

Whether you want to lightly coat your sardines in oil and flour or go all out with an egg wash and breadcrumbs before tossing them in the air fryer you have options when it comes to additional seasoning. One approach is to keep it simple with salt and pepper but you can also add paprika garlic powder turmeric cayenne pepper and chili powder to the mix for a smoky slightly spicier flavor. And since lemon and seafood go hand in hand why not try a little lemon zest on top?

Sardines are delicious on their own but they’re also delicious on toast with a drizzle of olive oil. You can experiment with adding tomatoes onions and other fresh vegetables of your choice for a simple yet satisfying snack. The possibilities for canned sardines aren’t limited; they’re also a quick and easy protein to add to any salad.
