Notes
Can I freeze them?
Yes! Let them cool completely, then freeze in a single layer. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for about 5–7 minutes.
How spicy are they?
It depends on how many jalapeño seeds you leave in. For a milder bite, remove all the seeds and ribs. Want it hotter? Leave some in or add a dash of chili flakes.
