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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, mix together the coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Pour the almond milk into another bowl for dipping.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tofu cubes in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
Step 8
Fry the tofu cubes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the tofu using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnish with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
