Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• Use Thick Bread: Choose a sturdy thick bread like Texas Toast. Thick slices hold up better in the air fryer, giving you that perfect crispy exterior while staying soft inside.
• Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheating is key to achieving a crispy finish. A 3-5 minute preheat ensures the French toast sticks cook evenly and get that golden crunch.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: For maximum crispiness, arrange the French toast sticks in a single layer, leaving space between them. This allows hot air to circulate properly and gives you that perfect crunch.
