I would like to formally thank whoever created the air fryer because I am simply OB-SESSED. It's such a quick and easy way to cook vegetables, crisp up frozen fries or vegan nuggets, and to create healthier versions of deep-fried treats such as onion rings. Onion rings have been a favourite of mine ever since … Continue reading Crispy Air Fryer Onion Rings (vegan)

Crispy Air Fryer Tofu Nuggets (Vegan)
Choosing a plant-based diet does not mean you have to sacrifice childhood favourites such as nuggets!

Not to mention that similar to regular chicken nuggets, are a processed product that I would not … Continue reading Crispy Air Fryer Tofu Nuggets (Vegan)
