Gluten Free & Vegan Crispy Tofu Sticks

Course Main Course

Equipment

  • Air fryer these can also be baked in the oven or fried in oil on the stovetop

Ingredients
  

  • 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
 

  • 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. 
  • After pressing your tofu, use a knife to slice it into long strips. 
  • 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. 
  • Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray and lay tofu strips out evenly. 
  • Air fry on 350° for 7-8 minutes.
  • Flip tofu sticks over and continue to cook an additional 5-7 minutes or until they reached a golden brown.
  • Carefully remove from air fryer basket and allow to cool for 5 minutes. 
  • Serve with your choice of dipping sauce and enjoy!
