Getting Started

  • To maximize umami in air-fried vegan dishes, combine vegan chicken broth powder with nutritional yeast, mushroom powder, and a touch of soy sauce or tamari in your marinades and seasonings.
  • For even cooking and crispness in the air fryer, ensure vegan proteins and vegetables are tossed with a light coating of oil before air frying. This also helps seasonings adhere better.
  • Prevent dryness in air-fried items by not overcrowding the basket. Cook in batches if necessary to allow proper air circulation and even browning, crucial for developing deep flavors.
  • Utilize liquid vegan chicken broth in your marinades. A 20-30 minute soak for tofu or seitan before air frying infuses significant flavor and helps maintain moisture.
