  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 180 °C (356 °F).
  5. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the coated Babybel cheeses in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
  6. Bake for Perfection: Set the timer for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Cool and Garnish: Remove the bites from the air fryer, let cool slightly, and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
