Tips
- Pickles: They are ready in 2-3 hours but better the next day.
- Soup: Adding salted butter at the end enhances flavor without needing extra seasoning.
- Roasted Vegetables: If using an air fryer, check the status before the final 10 minutes to prevent burning.
- Serving: For a complete meal, serve with boiled eggs, salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
