Directions

Preheat oven or air fryer to 400°F (or 390°F air fryer). Toss tofu cubes with olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake or air-fry for 18–20 minutes, shaking halfway, until crispy and golden. Garnish with seeds, fresh herbs, or lemon zest.
Pulse dry  In a food processor or blender, pulse together: Basil Parmesan Pine nuts Garlic → Pulse just until broken down — don’t over-blend yet. Add liquids: Add lemon juice and olive oil. Pulse again until the mixture begins to emulsify and form a rough paste.
Incorporate protein & fiber: Add Unjury protein powder and Just Better Fiber, then pulse gently just until incorporated. (Avoid long blending here to maintain texture.) Adjust as needed: Too thick? Add a teaspoon of olive oil or cold water and pulse again. Too loose? Add a pinch more Parmesan or extra basil.
Taste and finish: Season with extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice to brighten. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
