3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets

If you’re using an air fryer, shake the basket halfway through to prevent hotspots.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
