Air Fried Chicken-Style Seitan
Seitan Made in Air Fryer - Oil Free Vegan Meat Alternative

Seitan is a great meat alternative that’s high in protein while low in fat and carbohydrates. It’s also less expensive than many store-bought plant-based meats, so it’s an excellent option for vegans on a budget.
