Notes
- Air Fryer Model: if you are using an air fryer oven model I would recommend the shorter cook time of 6-7 minutes; if you are using a basket model then I would recommend 7-9 minute cook time.
- Dairy-Free: to make this dairy-free simply omit the parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free substitute.
