Air Fryer Tofu
Air fryer tofu is the quickest and easiest way to make crispy tofu, and you don't even need to add oil thanks to the magic of the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces tofu (one block, extra firm)
- 3 Tablespoons low sodium Tamari (or soy sauce)
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- optional: 1/4 teaspoon squeeze or sriracha I love it if I have some, but it will still be good without it.
Instructions
-
Start with drained and pressed tofu, and dice into bite sized cubes. See photos and tips in blog post above for helpful tips.
-
Add marinade ingredients to a freezer bag, and give it a little stir.
-
Add diced tofu to bag, seal and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30, and up to overnight.
-
After the tofu has marinated, take it out and drain off any excess marinade. I just used my hands, but you could use tongs or a slotted spoon.
-
Place the tofu in the air fryer basket. You can spray it first with nonstick spray, if you wish. Arrange the cubes evenly, so that the air has room to circulate.
-
Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (no need to preheat) until crispy, about 10 minutes. Note: give the tofu a toss about half way through cook time. If the tofu sticks a little, you may need to use a flipper. Otherwise, just give it a little shake.
-
Serve immediately with dipping sauce, on salads, in rice bowls, or with veggies, rice noodles + your favorite sauce if desired.
