Crispy Air Fryer Tofu: Your New Favorite Plant-Based Bite!
Air fryer tofu: master this ridiculously crispy and flavorful plant-based protein in minutes. Perfect for quick meals and snacks!
Ingredients
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 2-3 teaspoons all-purpose spice blend
- your favorite sauce for serving
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the nutritional yeast, cornstarch, soy sauce, oil, and spices into a batter. It should be fairly loose and runny. If your batter is too thick (like a paste), add 1-2 teaspoons more soy sauce as needed to loosen it.
- Tear the tofu into chunks and place them directly into the batter bowl. Using a wide spatula, gently toss the tofu in the batter until it’s entirely coated.
- Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. Stop and give it a shake. And now air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit again for another 5 minutes until you reach your desired level of golden crispiness!
- To serve, toss the tofu in your favorite sauce for a recipe (curries! stir fries! rice bowls!) or just pop these guys into some dipping sauce like a little nugget. Incredible.
