Plant based (but meaty looking) things are very much in fashion at the moment - especially if they fit in an air-fryer. We do not have an air-fryer, but we do have vegetarians in the house willing to experiment!
Here we have one of the many varieties from Oumph - makers of plant-based protein things - but covered in Buffalo sauce and a crispy coating. And as this is something I enjoy I figured it was worth a go.
And Iceland (where I got this) will also happily sell me some more varied frozen veggies than the usual peas and carrots.
They are pretty stalky! But they cooked up nicely and tasted great so who am I to argue.
I put the nugget like things on some roasting veg and slapped in the oven
And then added some skin on fries to make a complete meal
The Buffalo tenders were a little tougher than I'd expected (and the moisture from the veggies made the skins fall off) so I think maybe these are designed with crispers in mind - but the flavours were great and they were filling enough that this was a decent meal for two.
Maybe if I do get back into the Iceland options an Air-fryer is a necessary purchase, but for now I'll just keep the moist things seperate.
Enjoyable enough to have again, but not as wow as I'd hoped (and probably too spicy for kids!)
