Golden, crispy tofu “chips” are air-fried to perfection and tossed in a savoury, smoky seasoning blend. Served with a cool, creamy avocado mayo dip, this snack is high in protein, low in carbs, and totally keto-friendly—a perfect alternative to traditional fries.
Instructions
- Prepare the tofu: Press the tofu for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Slice into chip (fries) shapes, about 1cm thick.
- Season: In a bowl, toss tofu chips with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Air fry: Arrange tofu chips in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crisp at the edges.
- Make the dip: While the tofu cooks, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Stir in keto mayo, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Plate the hot tofu chips with the spicy avocado mayo dip on the side. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
Keto Meal Description and Nutrition Highlights
These air-fried tofu chips are a fantastic low-carb, high-protein alternative to potato fries. The tofu is pressed, cut into chip shapes, and tossed in olive oil and a blend of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a hint of cayenne for a bold, savoury flavour. Air frying gives them a crisp exterior and tender centre without excess oil. The avocado mayo dip is rich in healthy fats and adds a creamy, tangy contrast. This snack is filling, fibre-rich, and perfect for dipping!Ingredients
