Air Fryer Tofu Nuggets are a delightful and healthier alternative to the traditional fried varieties, perfect for a quick snack or a light meal. This recipe takes firm tofu and transforms it into crispy, golden nuggets that are both satisfying and flavourful.

To begin, press the tofu to remove excess moisture, ensuring a better texture once cooked. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes, then marinate in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic powder, and a hint of ginger for added depth. After allowing the flavours to meld for a short while, coat the nuggets in a blend of cornstarch and breadcrumbs for that essential crunch.

Preheat your air fryer to around 180°C, then arrange the nuggets in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. Air fry for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking. Once done, they should be beautifully crisp on the outside whilst remaining tender on the inside.

These Air Fryer Tofu Nuggets can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, from sweet chilli to tangy BBQ, making them a versatile addition to any meal. They’re not just a hit with vegans; even the meat-lovers will relish these little bites of goodness! Enjoy your homemade snack that’s both nutritious and delicious, without the guilt of deep frying.
