10 Minute Buffalo Tofu Nuggets
If you have been wondering how to get that crispy edge on your Buffalo Tofu Nuggets then this is your recipe. These 10 Minute Buffalo Tofu Nuggets are oil free and gluten free. As with all my recipes if you want to add oil or butter this is completely up to you.
Variations of 10 Minute Buffalo Tofu Nuggets
I made two variations one with bread coating and the other only using the flour and seasonings coating. But to be honest the ones with the gluten free bread crumbs were so much more indulging. Not to say that the ones with the breading were not but that is also an option if you prefer. Another variation you can use is dipping these 10 Minute Buffalo Tofu Nuggets in barbecue sauce. The dipping possibilities are just endless. This recipe uses six main ingredients. The poultry seasoning I bought was $1.00 at the Dollar Tree and be sure to check for vegan options on the bread crumbs there too. It was so cheap to make and packed with so much flavor.
How to plate the Tofu Nuggets
I ate them in a wrap with lettuce tomato and onion. On another occasion I have also ate them with a side of celery and carrot sticks dipped in this Avocado Dressing. You could also make them into a sandwich and enjoy with French fries. As always make sure you have a kitchen towel handy and line up all of your ingredients for easy access. Lets begin shall we!
10 Minute Buffalo Tofu Nuggets
Equipment
- Air Fryer or Oven
- Kitchen Tongs
- Plates for breading and drenching
Ingredients
- 1/2 Block Tofu that has been pressed or frozen then pressed
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Plant Milk
- 1 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Cup Bread Crumbs
- 4 TBS Flour
- 1/2 Tsp Poultry Seasoning
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix 1 cup of plant milk with the apple cider vinegar to make your vegan buttermilk.
- In a separate bowl or plate mix your flour and poultry seasoning.
- Cut your tofu ins small triangles or shapes that you prefer.
- Prepare your work station and begin by dipping your tofu in the buttermilk then in the flour and then return to the buttermilk and finally dip the nugget in the bread crumbs. It may get a little messy but do not get discouraged the final product will be worth it. Grab that kitchen towel.
- Your station should look a little like this.
- If you are using the bread crumbs make sure you are coating all sides of the tofu thoroughly.
- Your nuggets should be lined in a baking sheet giving them a little room to breath. With kitchen tongs place them in batches of 4 or 5 depending how large your air fryer is for 10 minutes on 400F flipping at the 5 minute mark. If using the oven bake at 350F for 30 minutes flipping half way. Supervise the nuggets as baking temperatures depend on where you live and what kind of oven you have.
- In another bowl pour your buffalo sauce and dip your nuggets then serve.
- You can enjoy these nuggets on a platter with veggies or in a sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onion and a little vegan menu. For an extra bang you can also air fry the nuggets for 2 minutes after they have been coated with the barbecue or buffalo sauce.
