Notes

1. Use your oven if you don't have an air fryer (this recipe alone is a good enough reason to get one)

2. With great restraint! It's easy to eat it all! Warning: Don't make a full box if you're alone and think, “I can save some for later.”

3. If by some miracle, there are leftovers, place them in airtight containers or bags. Store at room temperature for 3 - 4 days.
