Seitan strips crisp up beautifully in the air fryer, creating a satisfying, meat-like texture. Season them with your favorite flavors for a quick and easy meal. The ingredient list, steps, and timing are all on the recipe page.
Ingredients
- 1 package seitan (8 oz), torn or sliced into strips
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Salt and your seasoning of choice (soy sauce glaze, BBQ, or buffalo work well)
Steps
- 01Tear or cut the seitan into bite-sized strips. Tearing gives more irregular surfaces that crisp better than clean cuts.
- 02Toss with oil and seasoning.
- 03Ready for the air fryer.
Seitan is made from wheat gluten and has a chewy, meaty texture. It crisps up beautifully in the air fryer, much better than baking or pan-frying. The oil is important because seitan is naturally low in fat and dries out without it.
