can i do this in the oven somehow
I make these in the oven. They aren't quite as good as I think they would be in an air fryer, but I don't have one of those and don't have enough room for another kitchen gadget right now.
If you want to try them in the oven, follow the recipe up until it's time to put them in the air fryer, then instead lay them on a baking sheet, ideally lined with parchment paper to help them not stick to your sheet, and put them in the oven at 400F for like an hour. You could try to flip or stir them halfway through, but I find they're usually slightly stuck to the parchment paper at that point and it's just not really worth it to try to flip them.
What are ovens if not shitty airfryers
I've tried, it's really hard to get an even crisp with just a convection oven, so the only reliable method I've found is to use the grill (broiler if you're a yank) and them remove them halfway, shake and then continue grilling through to make sure all sides are baked evenly.
