Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

Retired and told my wife I was tired of her cooking. Never tell your wife that unless you’re willing to step it up. I did, and discovered cooking is a lot of fun. Now I do much of the cooking, but we often prepare meals together.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic (about 2 garlic cloves)

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 (10-ounce) can tomato puree or sauce

1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil, divided

2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided, plus more for garnish

1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, divided

1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
