If you crave the taste of barbecue, this sandwich will prove meat is not necessary to enjoy smoky, bold flavors In the air fryer, the tofu crisps on the edges similar to grilling, and the even heat finishes the sauce to a tempting, sticky glaze. The sandwich can be served without the chutney, but the ginger and jalapeño infused mango mixture elevates the flavor to new culinary heights Choose ripe mangos with a perceptible fragrance through the skin; this ensures the flesh will be a vibrant yellow and the taste sweet and piney.
