# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
02 - Pat veal cutlets dry using paper towels, then season both sides evenly with salt and ground pepper.
03 - Arrange three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk if using, and one with plain breadcrumbs.
04 - Dredge each cutlet first in flour, shaking off excess, dip into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
05 - Lightly spray both sides of each breaded cutlet with olive or neutral oil spray to promote crisping.
06 - Place cutlets in a single layer inside the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
07 - Air fry cutlets for 7 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
08 - Turn cutlets over, lightly spray again with oil, and air fry for an additional 6 to 8 minutes until golden and crispy.
09 - Serve immediately garnished with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
