Ingredients

• 1 Kid Cuisine Level Up Fish Sticks Meal (frozen)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

Optional Add-Ons & Extras:

• Tartar sauce, ketchup, or ranch dressing for dipping

• Shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesier mac & cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and crispier fish sticks.

Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal

1. Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.

2. Separate the fish sticks from the mac & cheese and corn to ensure even cooking. Place the fish sticks directly in the air fryer basket.

3. Cover the mac & cheese and corn with foil to prevent them from overcooking or drying out.

Step 3: Air Fry the Fish Sticks & Sides

• Fish Sticks Only: Cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.

• Mac & Cheese and Corn: After 6 minutes of cooking, place them in the air fryer on a small air fryer-safe dish and continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes until fully heated.

• For Extra Crispiness: Lightly spray the fish sticks with cooking spray before air frying.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

• Carefully remove the fish sticks and sides from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.

• Serve immediately with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or ketchup for dipping.

How to Serve This Level Up Fish Sticks Meal

• Classic Kid’s Plate: Serve with extra mac & cheese and a fruit cup.

• Crunchy Upgrade: Top mac & cheese with crushed crackers or toasted breadcrumbs.

• Spicy Kick: Dip fish sticks in Buffalo sauce or chipotle mayo for extra heat.

Pro Tips for Best Results
