Easy crispy baked tofu made with tortilla chips for a simple gluten free breading! The perfect addition to salads, nourish bowls, or with any veggies you’ve got on hand. These are even amazing in a wrap- think vegan caesar wraps or vegan buffalo wraps! Yes please.
My absolute favorite way to make tofu currently! It’s crispy, crunchy, and so satisfying. Plus it makes a good-sized batch for easy leftovers- I just reheat in the oven or air fryer for a quick crunchy protein addition to lunch or dinner!
I am so obsessed with these tofu nuggets- I honestly think I’ll be making these once a week! The perfect addition to lunch or dinner for some plant-based protein.
The breading mixture is made from tortilla chips and almond flour (or regular flour) for a light and crispy gluten free coating. It’s so simple and the perfect texture!

I served mine with a brussel sprout and avocado salad with a drizzle of buffalo sauce here. Kind of random, but SO freaking good!!
There are so many fun and delish way to serve this- I can’t wait to see what meals you all make with this epic gluten free crispy baked tofu! It’s so good- I know you guys will love it 🙂

These are amazing!! I added some cajun spices as well for a little kick. I put them in the air fryer for 10 minutes, flipped and then put them in for another 5 and they were perfect. Thank you for a tasty tofu nugget!! I will be making these all the time.
