Buffalo-Style Tofu Strips
• For extra crispiness, bake a few extra minutes after saucing. • Air fryer option works well at 400°F for about 12 to 15 minutes. • Sauce level can be adjusted depending on heat preference. Health Benefits: These tofu strips provide a high-protein plant-based option that pairs well with fiber-rich vegetables and a cooling dip like vegan ranch. The buffalo sauce adds bold flavor without needing heavy batter or frying, making it a lighter alternative to traditional wings.
