Ingredients
Scale
- 14oz pack of extra firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons of tamari (or soy sauce)
- 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Open the pack of tofu and press it between two towels to get rid of the excess liquid.
- Cut the tofu into bite size cubes.
- Add the tamari to a bowl and the nutritional yeast to a separate bowl. First coat a tofu chunk in the tamari and then coat it in the nutritional yeast. Be sure to turn each tofu chunk over to get nutritional yeast on each side.
- Once all the tofu is has been dipped in tamari and coated in nutritional yeast, preheat the air fryer.
- Once preheated, add the tofu to the air fryer. Try not to let the tofu nuggets touch in the air fryer, so they don’t stick together. You may need to do two batches for all the tofu. Cook for about 10 minutes, until golden brown. No need to turn the tofu during cooking. That’s it, time to enjoy! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
