Ingredients
Tofu Nuggets

- 1/4 cup fresh parsley

Instructions
- Cut your tofu into 1/2 inch cubes

- Whisk together the chickpea eggs, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Using a fork, dip each cube of tofu into the egg mixture, and then coat in almond flour.
- Place the tofu nuggets into your air fryer in a single layer (you may need to cook them in two batches).
- Cook them at 375°F / 190°C for 15 minutes. Check your own Air Fryer directions if needed.
- To make sure they cook evenly, you may want to turn the nuggets over at the halfway point.
- To make the ranch sauce, simply place everything into your blender and pulse until smooth.
- Serve your nuggets while still warm.
Notes
Your tofu should be firm and dry before dipping it into the egg mixture. You can press out excess moisture with a dish towel.
When placing the tofu nuggets into the Air Fryer, make sure they have space around them, to ensure they cook evenly.
