Tips for All Flavors:
Layering: Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. If needed, air fry in batches for even cooking.

Storage: Store leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They may lose some crispness, but you can refresh them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F to bring back their crunch.

Customization: Feel free to adjust the seasoning and spice levels based on your preferences!
