Do I have to use an air fryer?

If you don’t have an air fryer or are cooking for a crowd don’t worry, you can certainly still bake these. The oven instructions are also listed in the recipe card. This is a very easy recipe to prepare either way. I like the air fryer option because as I mentioned it prevents the oven from heating up my kitchen so much. I am also only cooking for two people so it makes it pretty quick and the crispy texture the air fryer provides is delicious! Keto Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats
