Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a weight on top to press out the excess moisture for about 15 minutes.
Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pour the almond milk into another bowl for dipping.
Dip each tofu cube into the almond milk, ensuring it is fully soaked, then dredge it in the coconut flour mixture, coating it thoroughly on all sides.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tofu cubes in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
Fry the tofu cubes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tofu using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately, garnish with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
