Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?

While fresh strawberries are the best choice for this recipe, you can use frozen strawberries in a pinch. Just be sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before coating and frying. The texture may be slightly different, but they'll still be delicious! 🍓

How do I get the coating to stick better?

The key to getting the coating to stick perfectly is to let the coated strawberries rest for a few minutes before frying. This allows the breadcrumb mixture to adhere to the strawberries, ensuring a crispy, evenly coated exterior. 👌

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Absolutely! If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the coated strawberries in the oven instead of frying. Simply place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy. 🌟

How do I reheat leftovers?

For the best texture, reheat the leftover Bunny Ear Strawberries in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Avoid the microwave, as it can make the coating soggy. 🙅♀️

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can absolutely make these Bunny Ear Strawberries in advance! Simply prepare the coated strawberries and store them in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to fry. This makes them a great make-ahead dessert option for your next party or gathering. 🥳
