Ingredients | Air Fryer Tofu Nuggets Recipe

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

¼ cup milk

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic salt

½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

¾ cup panko bread crumbs

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Directions

Thaw tofu, 8 hours to overnight. Place in a colander with a weight on top to squeeze moisture out.

Place tofu on a flat work surface and cut into approximately 16 'nuggets.'

Mix milk, mustard, garlic salt, onion powder, and pepper together in a bowl. Pour break crumbs into a separate bowl. Dip each nugget into the milk mixture and roll into the bread crumbs, coating completely.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add nuggets; cook, flipping halfway, until golden brown, about 7 minutes.

You can also spray these nuggets with cooking spray, place on a lightly greased baking sheet, and bake in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), turning halfway through cook time.
