Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels.
Dip each chicken tender into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
Transfer the chicken tender to the almond flour mixture and coat evenly. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching or overlapping.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with non-stick cooking spray to promote even browning.
Air fry the chicken tenders at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or a side salad.
