1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup soy milk

2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking

Add some oil to the air fryer basket, spray it with some non-stick cooking spray before adding some vegan meatballs to it. Cook for about 15 minutes or until browned evenly on all sides.

BBQ tofu skewers

These vegan bbq skewers are extremely easy to make and they're marinated, so their taste is rich. To give them an even more interesting touch, top them with some pine nuts before serving.

1/2 cup barbecue sauce of choice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking

Toasted pine nuts to garnish (optional)

Sea salt and pepper to taste

Mix the barbecue sauce with garlic powder, in a large bowl. Dip tofu pieces in the mixture then lay them out on a plate for marinating. Heat up oil in a skillet then add sautéed garlic over low heat setting. Cook through the tofu skewers, turning them occasionally. Once they are nice and browned, cook for about 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tofu squares.
