Tips & Variations
- Add chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) for extra crunch.
- For a sweeter touch, toss cranberries in a little honey before mixing.
- Can be made ahead and frozen—just bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
If you want, I can give you an air-fryer version that makes them extra crispy in less time.
Do you want that version?
