It seemed so simple and yet people were genuinely disappointed when they were gone.When we made them at home, the kids loved them too. They are so easy to make, so give them a try to see if you get the same reaction we did. Fried basil leaves are a crispy and delicious snack. Serve them as an appetizer or place them on top of pasta or salad for a fun twist of flavor.
