Air Fryer Crispy Tofu Milanesa
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) container firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
  • 2 eggs
  • cooking spray
Instructions
1
Cut the tofu into two equal halves lengthwise, then divide each half into two identical triangular shapes.
2
Combine the bread crumbs and taco seasoning in a shallow dish or plate, mixing well to create a uniform blend.
3
In a separate shallow dish or plate, gently whisk the eggs until they are lightly beaten and ready for use.
4
Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), the ideal temperature for this recipe.
5
Dip each tofu triangle into the beaten eggs, coating them evenly on all sides.
6
Next, coat the egg-coated tofu triangles in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down gently to ensure a secure and even coating.
7
Arrange the coated tofu triangles in a single layer on a clean plate, leaving some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
8
Spray the tofu triangles lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote browning.
9
Cook the tofu in the air fryer on one side for 15 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color.
10
Flip each tofu triangle over and spray with cooking spray again, ensuring even browning on both sides.
11
Continue to cook the tofu for an additional 10 minutes, or until it is nicely browned and crispy.
12
Keep in mind that the size of your air fryer basket may require you to cook the tofu in batches, so be sure to adjust your cooking time accordingly.
