Servings: 2
Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 2 Tbsp corn starch
- 1 Tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat your air fryer to 400 F*.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and seasonings. Set aside.
- Remove tofu from packaging and pat dry with a kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Using your hands, tear tofu into 1-inch chunks. They can (and should!) be textured and uneven. Add tofu chunks to a large mixing bowl.
- Add oil and toss until well-coated.
- Add cornstarch and seasoning mix and toss until well-coated.
- Transfer tofu to air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes. Shake/toss the tofu every 4-5 minutes to prevent nuggets from sticking together. Tofu is ready when all nuggets are golden brown with crisp edges.
Notes
Every air fryer runs differently. If yours runs hot, I recommend cooking at 375 F instead of 400 F.
