How to Serve
Serve hot with warm marinara sauce or your favorite dip — ranch, garlic aioli, or a spicy sauce all work well.
Great as an appetizer for parties, game nights, or as a side with a Caesar salad or soup. Try pairing them with Ribollita Soup for a hearty combo!
After serving them hot and crispy, there’s one more useful detail to know: the right way to store and reheat leftovers can help preserve their texture.
