Tips & Tricks
- Don’t skip the preheating – A hot air fryer gives you the best texture.
- Cook in a single layer – Overcrowding leads to uneven cooking.
- Flip halfway through – Ensures even crispiness on both sides.
- Check temperature early – Air fryers vary, so check at 15 minutes to prevent overcooking.
