Notes

  • Air Fryer Model: this recipe was tested on a Breville oven-variety air fryer which typically runs a bit hotter than a basket-style model.  It took approx. 16 minutes in the oven-model so if you are using a basket I would recommend checking the internal temperature after 14 minutes. 
  • Paleo/Whole30: to keep paleo/Whole30 stick with a compatible dipping sauce like our dairy-free ranch
  • Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
