Ingredients
- • seitan: 12 oz, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- • red onion: 1 large, cut into wedges
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • wooden skewers: 8, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- • mango: 1 ripe, peeled and diced
- • fresh cilantro: 1/2 cup, chopped
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • jalapeño: 1 small, seeded and minced
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the seitan cubes, sweet potato cubes, and red onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- 3 Thread the seitan, sweet potato, and onion pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating ingredients for variety.
- 4 Arrange the skewers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overcrowded. Air fry for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the seitan is crispy.
- 5 While the skewers are cooking, prepare the mango-cilantro chutney by combining the diced mango, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced jalapeño, and maple syrup in a bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
- 6 Once the skewers are done, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately with the mango-cilantro chutney on the side.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Air-Fried Seitan and Sweet Potato Skewers pair wonderfully with a side of quinoa or a fresh green salad to round out the meal. For an extra refreshing touch, serve alongside a chilled cucumber and mint salad. A light, sparkling water infused with lime or a chilled herbal iced tea would make an excellent beverage pairing, enhancing the vibrant flavors of the mango-cilantro chutney.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to regain their crispy texture. The mango-cilantro chutney can be stored separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
