For a richer flavor, consider using clarified butter or coconut oil for frying. Ensure the oil is at a consistent temperature for even cooking and optimal crispiness. Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. A pinch of garlic powder or onion powder can add depth. Serve immediately after frying for the best texture and flavor. They can be paired with a creamy dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon for added brightness.
