Are you ready for the crispiest nugget recipe ever? I hope so because these spicy rice paper tofu nuggets get so crispy in the air fryer while the tofu gets soft and melts in your mouth! I was really craving something crispy, but I didn’t have any bread crumbs on hand. Then, on the top of my pantry, I saw some rice paper sheets that looked like they needed to be used!
The cool thing about rice paper is that they are hard and brittle, and its lasts years in the pantry. However, once it hits some warm water, they become soft and noodle-like! This texture is great for the air fryer because it crisps up so easily.
I used some Dan O’s seasoning to season my tofu! I love that I can use one seasoning to flavor my recipe! Dan-O’s is completely gluten-free, low sodium, and all-natural!

- Dump the nuggets into a large bowl and coat them with the sauce.
