Ingredients
- • young green jackfruit (canned, in water): 2 cans (20 oz each), drained and rinsed
- • coconut milk: 1/2 cup
- • lemongrass stalks: 2, finely chopped
- • fresh ginger: 1-inch piece, grated
- • ground turmeric: 1 teaspoon
- • soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free): 2 tablespoons
- • maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic cloves: 3, minced
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • chili flakes: 1/2 teaspoon
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
- • wooden skewers: 8-10, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, lime juice, and chili flakes. Mix until well combined.
- 3 Add the drained jackfruit to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 4 Thread the marinated jackfruit onto the soaked wooden skewers, packing them closely but not too tight, to ensure even cooking.
- 5 Arrange the skewers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the jackfruit edges are golden and slightly crispy.
- 6 Once done, remove the skewers from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Coconut-Lemongrass Jackfruit Satay Skewers pair wonderfully with a fresh cucumber-mint salad for a refreshing contrast. Serve with a side of jasmine rice or quinoa to make it a complete meal. For an added tropical touch, pair the skewers with a chilled glass of coconut water or a light, herbal iced tea. To elevate the dining experience, consider serving these skewers with a spicy peanut dipping sauce. This will complement the coconut and lemongrass flavors beautifully, adding a rich, nutty dimension to each bite.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore the crispy texture. Avoid microwaving, as it may result in a soggy texture. If freezing, wrap each skewer in parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
