Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in a glass of water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
• I recommend using air fryer parchment papers or a non-stick air fryer cooking mat to cook these skewers for a quick and easy cleanup. Note: preheat the air fryer BEFORE adding the parchment paper.
• Depending upon the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook these in batches of 4 skewers at a time.
