Crispy, golden, and packed with flavour, these bites are the ultimate plant-based protein boost. By using a light starch coating and your favorite JMCC spice blend, you get a crunch that rivals any deep-fried nugget—without the mess.
What You’ll Need
-
Air fryer (or oven with a lined baking sheet)
-
Large mixing bowl
-
Clean kitchen towel (to pat the tofu dry)
Ingredients
-
1 block Firm tofu
-
2 tbsp Corn or potato starch
-
1 tbsp JMCC Cheezy Spice Blend
-
2 tsp Avocado oil
-
Sea salt to taste
How It’s Done
-
Prep the Tofu: Pat the tofu block dry. For maximum "crunchy surface area," tear the tofu into bite-sized pieces rather than cutting it.
-
Coating Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the starch and the JMCC Cheezy Spice Blend.
-
Toss: Add the tofu pieces to the bowl and toss gently until every nook and cranny is coated.
-
Arrange: Place the tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket or on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil and give them a quick shake.
-
Cook: Air fry at 360°F for 15–20 minutes, or bake at 375°F for about 20 minutes.
-
Flip: Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket or toss the pieces on the tray to ensure an even, golden-brown crunch.
-
Serve: Enjoy these hot as nuggets with your favourite dip, or toss them into a stir-fry. Don't forget the Jenny Marie’s Crackers on the side!
