Tear your tofu into bite sized pieces. This gives it a more authentic popcorn look.
Add flour, cornmeal, nutritional yeast, better than bouillon, mustard, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and milk into a large bowl and mix until combined. The consistency should be like a pancake batter. Add more milk if needed to thin it out.
Then Place your breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
Switch on your air fryer to preheat and set the temperature to 356°F (180°C) for around 3 minutes.
Coat your tofu pieces in the batter mix and then roll them in the breadcrumbs until fully coated, before placing them on your Air Fryer Safe Liner repeat until all the tofu is coated.
Top TIP: Ensure you leave space between your tofu nuggets so that air can circulate easily, cook in batches if you need to.
Place your liner filled with your tofu nuggets into the air fryer and cook at 356°F (180°C) for 5 minutes, then flip your tofu pieces and cook for a further 5 minutes or until crispy and golden.
