Happy Friendsgiving season! As you can probably guess, I love being the host and making food for everyone. This weekend’s festivities will include these individual-sized apps… just think of them as the best bite from a charcuterie board! Here’s everything you’ll need:
.

Air Fried Tofu is my homemade (healthier) version

Air Fried Tofu is my homemade (healthier) version of one of my favorite things to order when we dine out at local sushi establishments. It’s crispy, savory, slightly spicy, and incredibly easy to make. Let get into it!
.
BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/super-crispy-air-fried-tofu/
.
INGREDIENTS:

1 tsp. Paprika
½ tsp. Cayenne Powder
1 tbsp. Cornstarch
1 tsp. Black Sesame Seeds (optional)

2. Place tofu in the air fryer, making sure not to crowd or overlap. BASKET AIR FRYER: Air fry at 400F for 10 - 12 minutes, shaking the tofu halfway through. RACK AIR FRYER: Divide tofu among both racks. Air fry at 400F for 10 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through and alternating racks. Then air fry for an additional 10 minutes or until crispy.
3. Once crispy, remove the tofu and set on a wire rack to cool for 2 - 3 minutes. Then serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and your favorite dipping sauce.

2 tbsp. Drained Capers
½ cup Heavy Cream
1 tsp. Salt, or more to taste
1 tsp. Black Pepper
.
SUGGESTED GARNISH:
Shaved Parmesan
Chopped Italian Parsley
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized portions. Mix the flour with the dry English mustard in a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces into the flour mixture and shake off any access flour. 2. Sauté the bites in butter until golden on each side in a large skillet, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4. Add the butter to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, saute the shallot and garlic until fragrant, about 1 - 2 minutes.
4. Deglaze the skillet with white wine, chicken stock and add the zest + juice of 1 lemon.
5. While the skillet deglazes and the juices reduce, bring a pot with water to a rolling boil and cook the gnocchi until they’re floating, about 4 minutes.
6. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and add right into the skillet with drained capers, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and cooked chicken. Make sure to stir until every piece of chicken and gnocchi is covered in the skillet sauce.
7. Serve immediately with shaved parmesan and Italian parsley.

I’m not much of a baker, so quick and simple recipes in the bread world are my jam. Drop biscuits happen to be my favorite since they require no kneading, rolling, or special cutters. Simply stir the ingredients together and drop by the spoonful on a prepared baking sheet. No mess, no fuss!
