Instructions

Roast the Nuts

  • Start by roasting your mixed nuts in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the nuts in the air fryer basket and air fry them for about 3-5 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to ensure even roasting.
  • Keep a close eye on the nuts to prevent them from burning. They should become fragrant and slightly toasted but not overly browned.

Cook the Vegetables

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan or skillet on a medium heat. Add the onions and sautee for 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for 5-8 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked.
  • Remove from the pan and add the nuts and seasoning. Stir to combine.

Combine Ingredients

  • In a food processor, combine the nut and mushroom mixture and add the almond flour and egg.
  • Blend the mixture until it forms a cohesive mixture that can be molded into a loaf shape.

Assemble

  • Lightly spray 2 5 x 3 inch mini loaf pans with oil and line with parchment paper.
  • Preheat the air fryer according to the manufacturers instructions.
  • Spoon the nut roast mixture into the loaf pans, pressing down to keep their shape.

Air Fry the Nut Roast

  • Place the mini loaf pan in the air fryer basket. Either one at a time or both together if the air fryer is big enough.
  • Air fryer at 175C/350F degrees for 10 - 12 minutes until the nut roast is firm. The nut roast is done when it's golden brown on the outside and firm to the touch.
  • Once the nut roast is done, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

One serving is half a mini loaf. We assume it is served sliced but can be enjoyed whole.
