Notes
Serve alongside your favorite dip such as hummus, ranch, or a creamy avocado dip. For variations, consider adding spices like cayenne or chili powder, or tossing with nutritional yeast or Parmesan cheese after cooking. Air fryer performance can vary, so keep an eye on the fries as they cook to avoid overcooking.
