King Oyster Mushroom BLT
These are so incredibly tasty! There are more varieties of mushrooms and fungi than plants and mushrooms bring a phenomenal variance of texture, here we use king oyster mushrooms to carry a maple smoked umami flavour bomb of a sauce which makes them function like “bacon” in this classic. We use an Instant Vortex VersaZone Airfryer which does the job perfectly, currently on special offer of 25%, now £149.99

Instructions
- Preheat your instabrand airfryer on bake function to 180 degrees.Slice the king oyster mushrooms lengthwise so they are long strips approx ½ cm in thickness.
- Add them to the preheated air fryer along with a few sprays of oil approx 1 tsp and mix well so they are well coated. Bake for 10 mins, stopping occasionally to mix them around so they sear all over.
- Mix together the ingredients for the dressing. Remove the mushrooms from the airfryer and add to a bowl along with the dressing and mix well. Put back in the airfryer for a final 5 mins, ensuring to shake once before they finish cooking, to ensure they caramelise evenly.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking, don't worry if they are super strong. You want them to balance out the juiciness from the tomato and lettuce and to bring a punch to the sandwich.Remove from the airfryer and it's now time to prepare the other ingredients.
