Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your block of tofu, the star of these low-calorie crackers. It’s crucial to drain as much water as possible from the tofu for maximum crispiness. You can wrap it in paper towels and place a heavy object on top, or let it drain in a sieve for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
Once drained, slice the tofu as thinly as you can, aiming for a consistent thickness of about 2-3mm. The thinner the slices, the crispier your crackers will be! You can cut them into bite-sized pieces, strips, or any shape you prefer.
Step 3
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. Arrange the thin tofu slices in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the slices to season them lightly. Be mindful not to over-salt.
Step 4
Air fry at 160°C (320°F) for 15 to 20 minutes. Flipping the slices halfway through will help them crisp up evenly. Keep an eye on them, as cooking time can vary based on tofu thickness and your air fryer model, until they are golden and crisp.
Step 5
While the tofu is air frying, let’s prepare the optional dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine one slice of cheese with a splash of milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. For a tangy twist, stir in 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt. If you don’t have yogurt, feel free to omit it. Set the sauce aside.
Step 6
Voila! You’ve made incredibly crispy and savory tofu crackers without a single drop of oil or flour. These are perfectly crunchy and delicious straight from the air fryer. Dip them into the prepared sauce for an extra burst of flavor. Store any leftover crackers in an airtight container for a healthy snack anytime!
