Food Friday: Southern Fried Soy Curls

Kathy Hester has put up a recipe for Southern "Fried" Soy Curls.  These are fried in the air fryer and no oil is involved.  I finally made some.  They were a BIG SUCCESS!  Dear One said they were the best soy curls yet!

Vegan Southern Fried Chicken Soy Curls the way I did it.

2 cups soy curls in a medium bowl.

Cover with 3 cups boiling water and 1 Tablespoon McKay's Chicken Seasoning which you have stirred swell and let sit a few minutes--10, 15, 30 depending on your other projects.

In a large bowl place 1/4 cup quick grits (or cornmeal or flour), 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, 1 heaping teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt.  Mix well.

Drain the soy curls, saving the broth for soup, and gently squeeze them out.

Toss with the dry ingredients in the large bowl until everything is well covered.  

Put in air fryer for 10 minutes at 380 degrees F.  Check them. If they are crispy enough for your palate, enjoy them.  If not, put them in for another 5-10 minutes.

We loved them.  Especially dipped in ranch dressing.
