    Ingredients

    • 1 block extra firm tofu (look for one that is vacuum-packed so you don’t have to press it! see note 1)
    • 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 2 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (see note 2)
    • 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
    • 2-3 teaspoons all-purpose spice blend (see note 3)
    • your favorite sauce for serving (see note 4)

    Instructions

    1. 1

      In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk the nutritional yeast, cornstarch, soy sauce, oil, and spices into a batter. It should be fairly loose and runny.

    2. 2

      Tear the tofu into chunks and place them directly into the batter bowl. Using a wide spatula, gently toss the tofu in tbe batter until it’s entirely coated.

    3. 3

      Air fry at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes (see Note 5). Stop and give it a shake. And now air fry at 400 again for another 5 minutes until you reach your desired level of golden crispiness!

    4. 4

      To serve, toss the tofu 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.
