Air Fryer Buffalo Tofu
These Air Fryer Buffalo Tofu bites are spicy, flavorful, and the perfect easy vegan substitute for chicken wings. Serve them with a side of vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing as a main dish or a party appetizer!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 14 oz super firm tofu
Tofu Paste
- ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Buffalo Sauce
- 6 tablespoons Franks Red Hot Sauce or your favorite hot sauce
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
Instructions
- Mix the paste ingredients together in a bowl. Break the tofu into craggy bite-sized chunks and add them directly to the paste. Gently fold the tofu into the paste until all of the chunks are coated.
- use tongs to transfer the tofu to a lined air fryer basket.
- Set the heat to 400F/200C and cook for 15 minutes. About ¾ way through, stop the air fryer and shake the basket or use tongs to separate any tofu chunks that are sticking together. When the tofu is firm and nicely browned it's done!
- While the tofu is cooking, add the hot sauce and butter to a small pot. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until combined.
- Transfer the cooked tofu to a bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over top. Toss to combine. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Super firm tofu comes vacuum sealed and doesn't need to be pressed. If you can't find that, use extra firm tofu that has been pressed for 15 to 20 minutes.
