Baked Buffalo Tofu Bites
Enjoy crispy buffalo tofu bites, a vegan twist on a classic dish. Coated in a spicy buffalo sauce, these bites are perfect for snacking or serving as appetizers.
Ingredients
- 1 brick extra firm tofu, pressed (350g or 14oz)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (tamari for GF)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
Optional extras
- 2 tbsp melted vegan butter (see notes if adding)
- drizzle of honey or agave on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Tear tofu into bite-sized pieces and add directly into the bowl with the marinade. Stir gently to combine.
- Add cornstarch then stir again to evenly coat the tofu. Place the tofu onto a baking sheet with parchment paper, and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Toss cooked tofu with the buffalo sauce until each piece is evenly coated. (If adding vegan butter, see notes below)
- Drizzle with a little honey or agave if desired, and enjoy by themselves, or served with vegan ranch dip!
Notes
If adding vegan butter, melt it in a saucepan on medium heat with the buffalo sauce until the butter is fully melted and stir to combine. Or microwave using 30 second increments, until the mixture is melted.
