For best results, use high-quality veal scallopini. Pound the cutlets to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded. Cook in batches if necessary to maintain crispiness. Serve immediately for the crispiest texture. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor beautifully. For an extra touch, try adding a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese to the panko bread crumbs. A simple green salad or roasted vegetables make excellent accompaniments to this dish.
