This easy air fryer prawn toast recipe is the second new Chinese recipe this week to celebrate Chinese New Year on Saturday. I found the recipe on the Cook Simply food blog.
Years ago I made the traditional fried version and really fancied trying to cook them in the air fryer instead. I'm glad I did...they turn out lighter and healthier than the fried version, the toast turns out lovely and crispy and the prawn topping is full of delicious flavour!
Tip
- This easy air fryer prawn toast recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.

How to make this Easy Air Fryer Prawn Toast
Ingredients
- 300g raw prawns, peeled, cleaned and finely chopped
- 5g ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 egg white
- 4 slices white bread (I use thick sliced toastie bread)
- 50g sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or spray oil)
To serve (optional):
- sweet chilli sauce
- soy sauce
Instructions
- Put the finely chopped prawns into a bowl, then add the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and egg white. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
- Spoon a quarter of the prawn mixture onto each slice of bread. Spread to ensure you get all the mixture to the edge of each slice.
- Put the sesame seeds onto a place, take one of the slices of bread and place it prawn mixture side facing down so that the sesame seeds will stick to it. Repeat with the three other slices.
- Preheat the air fryer for 7 minutes at 200C. Using a knife, carefully slice the pieces of bread into four triangles.
- Carefully place the triangles into the air fryer. Make sure they're well-spaced apart - you may need to cook the toasts in 2 batches.
- Brush or spray vegetable oil over the top each prawn toast, then air fry at 190C for 8 minutes. Check after 5 minutes to ensure the toasts aren’t burning. Depending on your model of air fryer, it's worth keeping an eye on it. If you like them crispy, 8 minutes should be fine!
- Serve either on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice.
