    Battered Tofu Bites In The Air Fryer

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    Battered tofu bites in the air fryer are a perfect high-protein snack that the whole family will enjoy.

    This simple quick recipe is perfect if you have a block of tofu sitting around in the fridge and zero desire to make dinner. It’s so easy to make and can be an appetizer or a main dish.

    Prep time is so quick - 5 minutes max - and bake time is only 10 minutes. Microwave some frozen rice or add some greens or steamed broccoli and voila, you have a healthy gourmet meal in minutes that the whole family will love.

    I like the crunchy outside and how soft these are on the inside.

    I love the marinade because it also functions as a dipping sauce. The ingredients in this dipping sauce are ones I encourage you to always have on hand. I use at least two of these ingredients almost every time I cook.

    What you will need for battered tofu bites:

    Recipe Instructions

    The dish is so easy to whip up. Just cube the tofu, add the marinade. You will want to coat the raw tofu in the liquid and then add the flour and toss again until mixture thickens.

    • cube of tofu on the countertop cut into small cubes
    • tofu bites in a bowl on a countertop with tamari being poured over the cubes.
    • flour being added to a bowl of raw tofu cubes in a bowl on the counter.

    The tofu will become sticky. Be sure all tofu cubes are coated. Then you will transfer to the air fryer.

    My household loves tofu. I have a delicious oven baked version as well. Tofu is great in my both of my pad thai recipes.

    Don't own an air fryer? You can bake these as well. Tip: try using cornstarch in place of flour, it will make the tofu extra crunchy.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
