Notes
These twists are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze uncooked twists for up to 3 months; just bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time. Serve warm with dips such as tzatziki or yogurt sauce.
