Notes

Storage:

Storage: Cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 330 degrees F for 1-2 minutes for the best texture.

Freezing: Cool to room temperature and store in a freezer-safe container or Ziploc bag in the freezer for 3 months. Thaw completely before reheating in the air fryer at 330 degrees F for 1-2 minutes for the best texture (thawing overnight in the fridge is the easiest way).

Make Ahead: To refrigerate, assemble and store in a Ziploc bag or an airtight container in the fridge, and follow the air frying instructions when ready to serve. To freeze, store in a Ziploc bag or freezer-safe container in the freezer, and thaw them completely before cooking in the air fryer (thawing overnight in the fridge would be fine).
