Ingredients | Crispy Air Fryer Tofu Nutritional Yeast

1 (12 ounce) package extra firm tofu, drained and pressed

1 cup self-rising flour

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

Drain tofu, place on a plate, and stack heavy plates on top of it to drain any extra moisture, at least 15 minutes. Slice into 24 bite-size pieces.

Combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Toss tofu into bag, seal completely, and shake to coat. Transfer tofu pieces to a plate, shaking off any excess flour.

Pour vegetable oil into a skillet; heat on medium-high until just smoking. Cook tofu, turning often, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking.

When frying the tofu, take care not to crowd the pan; you may need to cook in two batches.
