- Adjust the spices: Feel free to experiment with the spices to suit your taste. Add a pinch of nutmeg, cloves, or even a hint of ginger for a warm and aromatic twist.
- Work in batches: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook the fritters in multiple batches to ensure they cook evenly and maintain their crispy texture.
Variations:
