And...coming soon...we will be giving you the chance to represent TEAM PLANTSTRONG at future events! That's right, you'll soon be able to show off your PLANTSTRONG prowess at upcoming finish lines around the world. Recipe 1: Sliced polenta served over a bed of greens and the PLANTSTRONG Thai Carrot Chickpea Stew. You can serve it over a marinara sauce as well for an Italian flair. Air Fryer: 370 degrees for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your polenta slices and preferred crispiness! Recipe 2: Mini-chalupa on a corn tortilla, served with refried black beans, greens, and PLANTSTRONG Firehouse Chili. Air Fryer: 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, depending on how many toppings and your preferred level of crispiness. You can also have fun and make mini-pizzas with your favorite toppings. Recipe 3: Simple potato skins served with nutritional yeast. Air Fryer: 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes. These cook up fast and shrink, so you could go less time, if preferred. Recipe 4: Hummus and apple crisp on tortilla. Air Fryer: 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Episode Resources Watch the Episode on YouTube PLANTSTRONG Podcast Episode Page Now Available!
