To prepare, you can bake them in an oven until they are golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, they can be cooked in an air fryer for a similar crunchy texture with less oil. For a quick option, they can also be pan-fried. Ensure they are heated through before serving. They are best served immediately after cooking to maintain their crispness. Avoid overcooking, which can make them tough.
