I made these but after baking and before serving I put them in my air fryer. Came out nice & crispy
These look great! I can’t eat onions (or garlic). Could I substitute celery for texture? Or just omit? Thanks!
Hi Cheryl,
Thank you! You can try them with celery, just make sure it is finely chopped. You can share how they turn out if you try them.
