Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use a Light Spray of Oil (Optional)

Enhances browning and helps crisp the wrappers without drying them out.

Flip or Shake for Even Crisping

Turning or shaking halfway through ensures both sides cook evenly.

Don’t Overcrowd

Cook in batches to prevent uneven cooking and soggy spots.

Line Basket with Parchment (Optional)

Use a perforated liner to prevent sticking, especially for thinner wrappers.
