Ingredients
  

  • 1 block tofu extra firm
  • 1 cup bread crumbs panko
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Tofu:
    Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cut the pressed tofu into fry-shaped pieces, about ½ inch thick.
  • Season and Coat:
    In a bowl, mix the bread crumbs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Lightly coat each tofu fry with olive oil, then coat them evenly with the seasoned bread crumbs mixture.
  • Air-Fry the Tofu:
    Place the breaded tofu fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't crowded. Air fry for about 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Once the tofu fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as a crunchy snack or side dish.

Notes

Tips for Extra Crunchiness:
  • For an even crunchier coating, consider double-coating the tofu fries by dipping them in a beaten egg (or a vegan egg substitute) before coating them with the bread crumbs mixture.
  • Ensure the air fryer is preheated to the recommended temperature for the best results.
  • Experiment with different seasonings or add grated Parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs for a cheesy twist.
