Once you learn how to air fry tofu, you’ll never make fried tofu any other way! It crisps up perfectly and doesn’t even need oil! Air fryer tofu nuggets are a deliciously healthy - and ridiculously easy - vegan recipe for kids and adults alike.
0 Chop tofu in about ½ inch squares.
1 Whisk chickpea egg with smoked paprika, salt, ground pepper and dried parsley. Use this mix to coat each piece of tofu and then coat them with almond flour.
2 Place tofu bites in a heated Air Fryer without overlapping them to assure perfect cooking (it took me two rounds to have them all done).
3 I cook them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, follow your own Air Fryer directions if needed. Note: To ensure even cooking, at around the 7 minute mark, I recommend taking out the basket (which should automatically pause your air fryer), shaking the basket a few times to toss the tofu cubes, and then placing it back in the air fryer.
4 For the ranch sauce, place all the ingredients in a blender and pulse to a smooth texture.
5 Serve tofu nuggets with ranch sauce and enjoy!
