Why Are Sesame Fingers So Good?
The reason why sesame fingers are one of my favourite appetizers is because of their incredible taste and simple ingredients. This recipe can be made with everyday ingredients from your pantry - bread slices, spices, sesame, sauces, and veggies, and makes for an excellent tiffin recipe for your kids. Moreover, it's handheld and mess-free, so you can prepare it easily and have it on the go!
Can Sesame Fingers Be Made in an Air Fryer?
Yes! You can easily make sesame fingers in an air fryer. Instead of deep-frying the fingers, preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees celsius for 15 minutes. Now gently place the sesame fingers on the air fryer rack with an appropriate amount of space between them. Air fry the sesame fingers for 10-12 minutes or until they are crisp and golden brown. This method would ensure that you don't deep-fry the bread, and it uses less oil compared to the traditional method.
