  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block of firm tofu or store-bought vegan chicken strips
  • 2 tablespoons of your favorite vegan seasoning or marinade (e.g., soy sauce, nutritional yeast, garlic powder)

Instructions

  1. Start by draining and pressing your tofu if using. Alternatively, select your preferred vegan chicken strips from the store for convenience.
  2. In a bowl, combine the vegan seasoning or marinade with your protein. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated. For an extra flavor boost, consider adding garlic powder or smoked paprika.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add your seasoned vegan chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy. For faster results, try using the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast.

Notes

  • Store any leftover vegan chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use an oven or air fryer to restore the crispiness.
  • For longer storage, freezing is also an excellent option—just be sure to thaw before reheating.
