Can I use frozen leeks?

Honestly? I wouldn't recommend it. Frozen leeks release too much water and won't get that perfect crispiness we're after. Fresh is definitely the way to go for haystack magic.

How do I prevent sticking?

Two tricks: First, make sure your leeks are nicely coated in oil. Second, give that basket a quick spritz of cooking spray before adding them. A quick shake halfway through cooking helps too.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Absolutely, Just leeks, oil, and seasonings - nothing gluten-containing here. It's naturally gluten-free and vegetarian too.

Why are mine burning?

Every air fryer runs a bit different. If yours runs hot, try lowering the temp to 360°F and checking at 6 minutes. Those thin strands can go from golden to burnt in seconds.

Can I make a bigger batch?

You can, but cook in separate batches. Overcrowding the basket leads to steaming instead of crisping. Patience pays off with these.
