Notes

Air Fryer Notes:
  • Some air fryers have a pre-heat option. Preheating may reduce the cooking time a little bit.
  • Air fryers need space between the food items to circulate and cook properly. Do not overcrowd your air fryer. 
Recipe Notes:
  • You can use parchment paper in the bottom of your air fryer to avoid sticking or spray with a non-stick cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
