Notes

  • Air frying creates a lighter, less oily version that still delivers incredible crunch.
  • For a spicy twist, add cayenne or chili flakes to the breadcrumb mix.
  • Serve alongside tangy, refreshing dishes like Pickle De Gallo for a complete snack plate.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, they lose crispiness as they cool.
