When using the air fryer, don't overcrowd the basket; this ensures even cooking and crispiness. If you want to switch things up, try adding a splash of soy sauce or lemon juice for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes.
