I love simple food that can be put together quickly. I’ve been traveling a lot recently and therefore haven’t had the time to blog. After Pittsburgh, New York City and Daytona, FL in late November & early December last year, we went to Maui, Hawaii this February and then to Miami again. I think I need a vacation from my vacation! I have no plans of traveling any time soon so more recipes are coming! Also, I’m thinking of sharing some pictures from my travels under the Category Travels. What do you think? Would you like that? Let me know in the comments section below.
Coming back to this recipe, it is a quick one. I love my air fryer. I use it whenever I get a chance. In fact I tend to use it more than my oven. Of course, if you don’t have an air fryer you can either pan fry them or cook in the oven. That works too @sarchakra
