Step 1

Remove the tofu from its package and drain the liquid. To avoid soggy tofu, press the tofu either in a tofu press or by stacking a heavy object on top, like a cast iron skillet. Press tofu for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, whisk together soy sauce and water in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Once tofu is pressed, tear off 1-inch pieces and place into the bowl. Give it a stir and let tofu marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Using two separate mixing bowls, combine the batter ingredients in one and the breading ingredients in the other. If the batter is too thick, add an extra splash of dairy-free milk and stir until desired consistency is reached. Set up an assembly line with the marinated tofu, batter, breading, and air fryer basket.

Step 4

Coat the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Working one at a time, take a piece of tofu and dip it in the batter, then roll it in the bread crumbs.

Step 5

Place each piece of breaded tofu in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure no pieces are touching. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches. Give the nuggets a light coating of oil spray.

Step 6

Air fry tofu nuggets at 400F for 10-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
