Salt-Roasted Ginkgo Nuts (Air Fryer Version)
盐焗白果（空气炸锅版） · pan chinese cuisine
Salt-roasting is a classic way to enjoy fresh ginkgo nuts; the hot salt cooks the kernels gently and seasons them lightly. Using an air fryer makes the process fast and hands-off. Ginkgo nuts should be eaten in moderation — the source recommends no more than 12 nuts per person per day.
