For best results, use slightly stale bread. This will help the French toast sticks hold their shape during soaking and cooking. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this will prevent the French toast sticks from browning evenly. Work in batches if necessary. Adjust cooking time as needed depending on your air fryer. Keep a close eye on the French toast sticks to prevent burning. For a richer flavor, try using brioche or challah bread. Get creative with your toppings! Try whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

Feb 22, 2025My bread was a little too soft, and they came out a bit soggy. I'll definitely use slightly stale bread next time.
