Learn how to make these crispy tofu bites coated in a sweet and spicy chili sauce. This easy vegan snack is crunchy on the outside and soft inside, with fresh pops of green chili and scallion. You will love it for its quick prep and bold flavors that make it feel like a treat.
This is my favorite crispy tofu snack ever. Tofu is what I reach for when I want a fast vegan bite that feels special, and this sweet chili version is the one I make over and over. It is different from plain baked tofu or simple stir-fries because it has that perfect crunch and glaze that tastes like something from a restaurant.

Here is why it is special:
Crispy and tender - The tofu gets a golden crust from frying, but stays soft and juicy inside.
Sweet and spicy sauce - The chili sauce brings heat and sweetness that coats every bite, and I use it for other dishes too, like veggies or noodles.
Quick to make - It comes together in under 30 minutes with just a few things from your kitchen.
Great for any time - It works as a snack, appetizer, or side, and since tofu is cheap, you can enjoy it often.
