Servings12

1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 large egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup milk (dairy or almond milk)
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped and well-drained
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Lightly grease the air fryer basket or line with perforated parchment paper designed for air fryers.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with olive oil and milk until thoroughly mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently to combine using a spatula.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped spinach, parsley, and lemon zest until evenly incorporated. The dough will be slightly sticky but manageable.
Lightly dust your hands with gluten-free flour and shape the dough into a log approximately 8 inches long and 2 inches wide, placing it directly on the prepared air fryer basket or parchment.
Air fry the biscotti log at 320°F (160°C) for 15 minutes, until the exterior is firm and lightly golden.
Remove the basket and carefully transfer the baked log onto a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces.
Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side down in a single layer back into the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
Continue air frying at 320°F (160°C) for 5-7 minutes on the first side until crisp and golden.
Flip each biscotti slice and air fry for an additional 5 minutes, until both sides are evenly crisp and toasted.
Remove the biscotti from the air fryer and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. The biscotti will become crunchier as they cool.
Store cooled biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for extended freshness.

Storage

Store leftover Air Fryer Savory Cheddar and Spinach Biscotti in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cool the food before sealing so excess steam does not soften the texture.
