To get the best results with Babybel cheese in an air fryer, follow a few key tips. First, the ideal temperature for air frying Babybel cheese is 375°F (190°C). This heat melts the cheese while crisping the outside. Cook them for around 6-8 minutes. This time lets the cheese get gooey inside while the outside turns golden brown.

Ingredients
  

6 Babybel cheese rounds

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg

2 tablespoons flour (for dusting)

Cooking spray

Instructions
 

Prep the Cheese: Remove the wax coating from each Babybel cheese round and set them on a plate. Allow them to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes for better melting during cooking.

    Prepare the Breading Station: Set up a three-station breading process. In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk the egg until frothy. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

      Coat the Cheese: Take each Babybel cheese round and first coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll the cheese in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating. Repeat this process for all cheese rounds.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Air Fry the Cheese: Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Arrange the breaded Babybel cheese rounds in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching to allow even cooking. Spray the tops lightly with more cooking spray.

            Cook: Air fry the cheese for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as times may vary by air fryer model.

              Serve: Carefully remove the crispy Babybel delights from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a minute or two. The cheese inside will be gooey and melty!
