Preheat your oven to 375F | 190C and line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
Prepare the tofu by removing it from the packaging, draining it, and patting it dry with a clean cloth. Use the cloth to gently squeeze as much moisture out of your tofu as possible - you could also press your tofu by placing some heavy books on top of it for 15 minutes.
120 g block extra firm tofu
Break the tofu apart into rough “nugget” shapes. I use my fingers for this but you could also cut the tofu if you prefer.
In a bowl, add the apple cider vinegar to the plant-based milk to create your “buttermilk”. The milk will curdle slightly - that’s OK!
1.5 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 125 ml milk
In another bowl or plate, add the cornflour.
4 tablespoon cornflour
Finally, add your crushed cornflakes to another large bowl or plate and stir in the seasonings and nutritional yeast.
Getting your tofu nice and dry is really important for helping the batter stick to your tofu nuggets and get them completely covered! Take the time to dry and gently squeeze out any excess tofu.To Cook Your Nuggets In The Air Fryer: Follow all the instructions up until step 6, then spray the nuggets with oil and cook for 12 - 16 minutes in your air fryer at 200C, flipping them halfway through.To Cook Your Nuggets On The Stove: heat 2-3 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan, and add just enough tofu nuggets that you don’t crowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side then flip.
