Hot Chilli 'Chicken' Tenders

Method

1. 1 Pat the tofu dry and cut into 2cm strips or cubes.
2. 2 Prepare three bowls: one with cornflour; one with crushed cornflakes or panko, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, chilli, garlic granules, salt, and pepper; and one with soy milk.
3. 3 Coat each tofu piece by first dipping it in cornflour, then in soy milk, and finally in the breadcrumb-spice mix.
4. 4 Tip: your hands will get sticky—wear gloves if needed. The breadcrumb mix may get soggy over time, so add it in batches.
5. 5 Place the coated tofu pieces in your air fryer basket, drizzle with olive oil, and air fry at 200°C (390°F) for 15 minutes, shaking halfway.
6. 6 For an oven option, bake at 200°C (390°F) for around 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
