Crispy Tuna Pockets

Here’s a fun twist to the normal tuna sandwiches – crispy tuna pockets! If you’re like me and you enjoy some good old crunch when you’re snacking, then you should definitely try this.

With my forever bestie, Mr. Air Fryer, frying things can’t get any easier. Dip the sealed sandwiches in the egg, coat it with panko crumbs, and simply pop them into the air fryer for 10 minutes at 380 F. Super easy!

Warning: These crispy tuna pockets are so appetizing that it’ll be gone in minutes.

Have a go at this crispy snack. 🙂
