Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, which will help it become crispier when cooked.
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the seasoning mixture.
Gently toss the tofu cubes in the seasoning mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add tofu cubes to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the tofu for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
Drizzle soy sauce or tamari over the tofu and gently toss to coat all pieces.
Remove from heat and let it rest on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot as a side dish or a main course. Enjoy your keto-friendly crispy tofu!
