02 -
  • Contains wheat (gluten); to make vegan and dairy-free, use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
  • This snack is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
03 -
  • For extra crunch, try air frying at 200°C (400°F) for 12–14 minutes.
  • Switch up the seasonings with blends like ranch, zaatar, or curry powder for new flavors.
