Ingredients
- 16 ounce package of tofu (firm or extra firm)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s red hot)
- Salad with Caesar, ranch, or bleu cheese dressing (I especially love to throw this tofu on top of an avocado kale Caesar salad!)
Steps
-
Take the tofu out of the packaging and drain the water. Wrap it with a clean dish towel, or a few paper towels, and gently squeeze out some of the excess moisture. I spend less than a minute on this.
-
Pull the tofu into bite-sized chunks. Toss with the cornstarch, soy sauce, oil, paprika, and garlic powder.
-
When everything is well-coated, air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Shake or toss, then air fry for another 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. (See notes for baking instructions.)
-
Melt the butter and whisk with the hot sauce. Toss the crispy tofu in the sauce to coat.
-
Dip in your favorite sauce or throw in a wrap, bowl, or salad! So yum!
