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)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the tofu and press it for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, which will help it become crispier when cooked.
Step 2
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Gently toss the tofu cubes in the seasoning mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Step 5
Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Add tofu cubes to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Cook the tofu for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Drizzle soy sauce or tamari over the tofu and gently toss to coat all pieces.
Step 9
Remove from heat and let it rest on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish or a main course. Enjoy your keto-friendly crispy tofu!
