Happy Pear Recipes, made exclusively for Cuisinart
Meaty Style Tempeh and Black Bean Burgers
Try these delicious veggie burgers - packed with savoury flavour and hold together beautifully without going mushy. Choose either tofu or tempeh depending on your preference—both provide structure and protein. Beetroot powder gives a rich, pink-in-the-middle appearance, while toasted seeds, black beans, and simple seasonings make these taste like a proper burger.
Healthier Hazelnut Caramel Bite
These hazelnut caramel bites are rich, nutty, and naturally sweetened with dates, a wholefood twist on a classic treat using just five ingredients. With a creamy hazelnut-date caramel centre and a crunchy chocolate coating, they’re indulgent yet wholesome. No baking needed, gluten-free and seriously moreish!
Crispy Buffalo Mushroom Wings with Creamy Ranch
These air-fried oyster mushroom wings are crispy, spicy, and seriously moreish. Coated in a golden crust, tossed in a fiery buffalo glaze, and served with a cooling homemade vegan ranch, they’re the ultimate plant-based comfort food.
Tofu 3 Ways
Air fryer tofu is one of the easiest and most satisfying ways to enjoy this humble ingredient. Whether you're after thick-cut tofu steaks, popcorn-style bites, or bacon-like crispy bits, this recipe has you covered. It’s high in protein, naturally gluten-free, and great in bowls, wraps, salads or on its own as a snack. The marinade gives the tofu a rich umami flavour with a lovely balance of sweet and sour.
