Takes 20 minutes
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 5 King Oyster Mushrooms
- 1 tsp oil
Dressing
- 4 tbsp tamari
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground chilli powder
- 1 tsp smoke paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- pinch salty
To serve
- 4 slices sourdough
- 60 g vegan mayo
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 head baby gem lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer on the bake function to 180°C.
- Slice the king oyster mushrooms lengthwise into strips approximately ½ cm thick. Add them to the preheated air fryer with 1 tsp oil and toss to coat. Bake for 10 minutes, shaking occasionally to ensure they sear evenly.
- Meanwhile, mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl.
- Remove the mushrooms from the air fryer and toss them in the dressing until evenly coated. Return the mushrooms to the air fryer for a final 5 minutes, shaking once midway to ensure even caramelisation.
- Remove the mushrooms from the air fryer. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. The strong flavour will balance out the juiciness of the tomato and lettuce in the sandwich.
- Slice the tomatoes, wash and rinse the lettuce, and toast the bread if desired.
- Spread vegan mayo on one side of each slice of bread. On two slices, layer the tomatoes, lettuce, and mushrooms. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down.
- Serve and enjoy!
