Air-Fried Tofu

Air-Fried Tofu

Portions: 1-2

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Air-fried tofu is a simple and delicious plant-based protein option offering a crispy texture with less added oil.

Ingredients:

• 150 grams firm tofu (extra firm works too)

• 1 tbsp cornstarch

• 1 tsp tamari (or soy sauce or coconut aminos)

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp garlic powder (NOT garlic salt)

• 2 tbsp water

• Oil to spray (optional, but adds crispness)

Instructions:

1. Break the tofu into bite-sized pieces with your hands or cut it into cubes.

2. Make a slurry and coating with all the ingredients except oil.

3. Toss the tofu pieces until all are coated.

4. Add to a baking sheet and lightly spray on top with oil. (Alternatively, you could add the oil to the slurry/coating when you toss.)

5. Air fry at 380°F for 10 minutes, or add 2 minutes if you want it a bit more brown and/or crispy.*

Note: This recipe is based on a non-stick air fryer that looks like a toaster oven, but if you have the basket kind, feel free to give it a shake halfway through.

Storage:

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2–3 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
