The Best Air Fryer Tofu

Ingredients

• 15-16 oz tofu (super firm ideally*)
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (or other oil)
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (or to taste)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce ((or amino acids))
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch ((arrowroot powder also works well))
• OPTIONAL: other spices as desired*

Method

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (390°F works too).
2. Tear the tofu block into medium, quarter-sized chunks and place in a large bowl.
3. Toss the tofu with oil, salt, pepper, and soy sauce until coated.
4. Sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu and toss again until fully coated.
5. Arrange tofu in the air fryer basket with space between pieces, working in batches if needed.
6. Air fry for 10 minutes, then toss and continue cooking for 5-10 more minutes until as crispy as desired (about 15 minutes total).
7. Serve with your favorite sauce or on its own.
