My Vegan BBQ RIBS Recipe with Tofu & an Air Fryer | Air Fryer Recipes

jackfruit

🥗Healthier: mushrooms

💰Cheaper: cabbage

Mushrooms provide a meaty texture, while cabbage is more affordable.

BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar and preservatives, while ketchup is budget-friendly.

Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess liquid.

Slice the pressed tofu into rib-like slices thick enough for skewers.

In a mixing container, combine ketchup, Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and mustard powder to create a marinade.

Whisk the marinade until completely combined.

Marinate the tofu in the marinade for at least a few hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Skewer the marinated tofu pieces, ensuring they are spaced out appropriately for cooking.

Sprinkle cornstarch over the skewered tofu to add crispiness, using fingers or a pastry brush to distribute evenly.

Preheat the TaoTronics Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Place the skewers in the air fryer and cook for 8 minutes.

After 8 minutes, flip the skewers and cook for an additional 8 minutes at 375°F (190°C).

While the tofu is cooking, prepare the broccolini by tossing it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, and Tajin.

Place the broccolini in the air fryer after the tofu is done, ensuring even distribution for cooking.
