Notes
- This Tarallini recipe makes around 70–75 small savoury rings, depending on thickness.
- Make sure to boil them before baking—this gives them that signature crunchy texture.
- You can enjoy them plain or add extras like fennel seeds or garlic powder for a traditional Sicilian twist.
- Let them cool completely before storing to keep them crisp.
- They’re perfect as a snack, aperitivo, or even as a crunchy cracker alternative.
