Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes, Chickpeas, Kale, and Smoked Salmon Bowl
November 13, 2025
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes, cut into 1” cubes
- ½ white onion, cubed
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned or homemade)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp parsley and red pepper seasoning
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 2 tsp cornstarch (for crispiness)
- ½ cup tempeh, cubed
- black pepper
- 2 cups chopped kale
- 1 tin Fishwife Smoked Salmon in Sichuan Chili Crisp
Instructions
- Prep the Base - In a large mixing bowl, combine: cubed potatoes, onions, chickpeas, olive oil, seasonings (parsley & red pepper, black pepper, salt, cayenne), and cornstarch Toss until everything is evenly coated. The cornstarch helps create that irresistible crispy texture in the air fryer.
- Air Fry the Veggies - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Add the potato mixture to the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Air fry for 12 minutes. Shake the basket to redistribute, then air fry for another 12 minutes.
- Add Protein & Greens - For the final 4 minutes of cooking: Add the tempeh, chopped kale, and Fishwife smoked salmon directly into the basket. Gently mix to combine with the roasted veggies. Return to the air fryer and cook for 4 more minutes. The kale will crisp up beautifully, the tempeh will get golden edges, and the salmon will warm through, releasing its spicy, smoky aroma.
- Serve hot, straight from the air fryer, or over a bed of quinoa or brown rice for extra carbs. Top with: A squeeze of lemon juice, a dollop of Greek yogurt or tahini, or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. This dish is perfect as a meal prep bowl, a quick weeknight dinner, or a protein-packed lunch.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: For the crispiest results, cook in batches if needed.
- Customize the heat: Adjust cayenne if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Use pre-cooked chickpeas: Canned chickpeas work great, just rinse and dry them well.
