Place the flour, ground almonds and baking powder in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and salt until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the side of the bowl occasionally.

Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix through.

Turn the dough out onto a floured bench top. Divide into two portions and shape each portion into a loaf, approximately 28cm long. Place the loaves in the baking paper-lined roasting pan, evenly spaced so there is room for them to spread.

Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

The loaves should be golden brown. If not, bake them a little longer.

Transfer the loaves to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, adjust the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 150°C, for 10 minutes and press Start.

The biscotti should be golden and feel dry to the touch. If not, air fry a little longer. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining slices.
