This delicious appetizer is prepared by first coating the tofu in a crispy gluten free batter and then airfrying it with the BBQ sauce


These are so crispy from the outside and soft on the inside. Using an air fryer makes them so crunchy and crispy and the overall recipe process simple.

This is perfect snack for parties or game nights and it’s Gluten free too since we have used gluten free breadcrumbs and chickpeas flour.


Definitely one of my favorite Tofu recipes
