Notes
- You are welcome to scale back on the honey for a low sugar version! The lowest I would suggest going is 3 tablespoons. On the other hand, you can absolutely add more if you prefer it really sweet!
- If you don’t own an air fryer, you can absolutely make this recipe in a regular oven. To do so, follow all of the same instructions, but instead of air frying it, bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Then, let it cool for 5 minutes and toss with the sauce.
