Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the French toast sticks

  • 4 slices thick sliced bread stale, cut into 4 sticks each
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or equal amount vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon sugar optional but highly recommended
  • pinch ground cinnamon
  • pinch ground nutmeg
  • pinch salt

For the dipping sauce

  • 1 cup raspberries fresh or frozen - I think this would be awesome with any fresh fruit. Strawberries would still look like ketchup but blueberries or peaches or even apples would be delicious, too.
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup confectioners sugar

Instructions
 

  • Combine the milk, eggs, vanilla bean paste, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well with a whisk until smooth.
  • Preheat air fryer to 350ºF.
  • Dip the bread slices quickly into the batter, coating them evenly. Do not soak. Place French toast sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket with room for air to circulate between them.
  • Air fry at 350ºF for 8 minutes or until just crispy. Flip halfway through cooking.
  • While the French toast sticks are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a blender, combine raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth. Pour into a small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
  • Serve the hot French toast sticks immediately with cold raspberry dipping sauce.
  • Cut French Toast sticks into thinner sticks for little kids to dip into the raspberry sauce like fries in ketchup.
