Ensuring we get enough protein is crucial, especially for those following a plant-based diet. These tofu nuggets are the ultimate dorm-room flex: completely grease-free, irresistibly crispy, and more affordable than a latte. Plus, they can be prepared in a variety of ways using the versatile Comfee Air Fryer.
Ingredients:
Serves 2 hungry humans or 1 all-nighter survivor
✅ 1 block firm tofu – $2.99 protein MVP
✅ 2 tbsp soy sauce – or whatever’s in the fridge door
✅ 1 tbsp olive oil – eyeball it, we’re not chefs
✅ ½ tsp garlic powder + smoked paprika – flavor magic
✅ 2 tbsp salsa – mild, hot, or “I regret this later”
✅ Salt & pepper – the dynamic duo
Step by Step:
1. In a bowl, marinate tofu cubes with soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for 10 minutes.
2. Preheat the Comfee Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C).
3. Place the marinated tofu cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
4. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
5. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
