Q & A

Q: Why use both butter and oil?
A: Butter = flavor, oil = prevents burning. Best of both worlds.

A:

• Don’t overcrowd the basket

• High heat

• Shake halfway

Q: Can I add cheese?
A: YES 😍 Add grated parmesan in the last 2 minutes.

Q: Are these good for meal prep?
A: They’re best fresh, but reheat well at 350°F / 175°C for 3–4 minutes.

Q: What do I serve them with?
A:

• Steak or chicken

• Pasta or risotto

• On toast with a fried egg

• As a snack straight from the basket (no judgment)
