Ingredients | Air Fryer Tofu Nuggets

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch slices

2 slices whole wheat sandwich bread

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

½ teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon dried marjoram

1 egg

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

¼ cup olive oil

Directions

Cut each tofu slice into thirds, widthwise. Press each slice between paper towels to drain as much liquid as possible. Place on a plate and freeze, about 1 hour.

Place bread in a food processor. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, and marjoram. Blend to make fine bread crumbs. Pour into a small bowl.

Beat egg in a bowl. Dip tofu slices into egg and coat in bread crumbs. Place breaded tofu on a plate. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 1/3 of the tofu into the pan. Cook, turning over halfway, until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tofu.

You can use regular Italian-seasoned bread crumbs if you wish.

You can make this in the deep-fryer as well.
