Notes

Keto Air Fryer Fish Sticks - Storage Instructions
Refrigeration:
  1. Allow the fish sticks to cool to room temperature.
  2. Place the fish sticks in a single layer in an airtight container, using parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
  3. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Freezing:
  1. To freeze, lay the cooled fish sticks on a parchment-lined tray in a single layer.
  2. Place the tray in the freezer for 2-3 hours or until fish sticks are frozen solid.
  3. Transfer the frozen fish sticks to a freezer bag, squeezing out as much air as possible before sealing.
  4. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheating:
  1. From Refrigeration: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place fish sticks in a single layer in the basket and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
  2. From Freezer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cook frozen fish sticks for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, or until heated through and crispy.
Note: Avoid microwaving as this can make the fish sticks soggy. Always reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
