Vegan gluten free tofu sticks

Gluten Free & Vegan Crispy Tofu Sticks

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (14-16 oz) blocks extra firm tofu (pressed and drained)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp gluten free soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 Tbsp gluten free panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Start by draining and pressing your tofu to remove any extra liquid.
     The more liquid it has the more "squishy" it is, so to give it more of a "meaty" texture I would suggest pressing it for at least 10-20 minutes. 
  2. After pressing your tofu, use a knife to slice it into long strips. 
  3. Put all sliced tofu into a bowl and pour gluten free soy sauce, nutritional yeast, onion powder, salt, pepper, and gluten free bread crumbs (I use gf panko) and toss to cover all strips. 
  4. Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray and lay tofu strips out evenly. 
  5. Air fry on 350° for 7-8 minutes.
  6. Flip tofu sticks over and continue to cook an additional 5-7 minutes or until they reached a golden brown.
  7. Carefully remove from air fryer basket and allow to cool for 5 minutes. 
  8. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce and enjoy!
