Soy Slices with Vegan Cheese

Instructions

1. Place the TVP soy slices in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let sit for 30-45 minutes until fully rehydrated, then drain and squeeze out any excess liquid.
2. Set up three separate bowls: one with the gluten-free flour, one with the chickpea flour mixed with water to create a batter, and one with the breadcrumbs.
3. Dredge each rehydrated soy slice first in the gluten-free flour, then dip into the chickpea flour batter, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F). Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the coated soy slices in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Spray the tops of the soy slices with olive oil.
5. Air fry for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the air-fried soy slices from the air fryer. Spread a teaspoon of tomato puree on each slice and sprinkle with shredded vegan cheese.
7. Return the slices to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve the soy slices hot as a main dish or as a topping for salads and sandwiches. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
