Vegan Air Fryer Potato Skins
  1. 1

    Wash the potatoes and pierce the skins all over with a fork.

  2. 2

    Microwave the potatoes for 5 minutes per side. Remove from the microwave and slice them in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the centers, leaving 1/4 inch of potato flesh in each shell.

  3. 3

    Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray the insides of the potato shells with olive oil cooking spray. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, hollow side facing up.

  4. 4

    Air fry until the edges begin to crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove and fill each potato skin with about 1 tablespoon vegan cheese. Return to the air fryer basket and cook until the cheese melts, 5 to 7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Top the cooked potato skins with 1 tablespoon diced tomatoes and 1 tablespoon textured vegetable protein.
