  2. Dry each Babybel cheese round with a paper towel, then coat with flour, dip in egg, and roll in panko. Repeat egg and panko for extra crunch.
  3. Chill coated cheese rounds in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up the coating.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3-5 minutes. Grease the basket with olive oil spray.
  5. Place chilled cheese rounds in the basket, lightly spray tops with olive oil, and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Remove from fryer and let rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm with dipping sauces.
