Air Fryer Tofu – Spicy and Crispy

Ingredients

• 16 oz package of extra firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic
• ½ teaspoon Sriracha
• TOOLS YOU’LL NEED
• Air Fryer
• Tofu Press (or see below for my simple method)

Directions

1. Press Tofu-Use a tofu press, or line a plate with paper towels. Place block of tofu on top and place more paper towels on the top of the tofu so that the tofu is sandwiched between paper towels.Place a heavy pan on top of the tofu with 3-4 heavy cans on top of the pan. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.

When tofu is pressed slice into 1 inch cubes.

1. Mix soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and sriracha in small bowl. Pour over tofu. Allow to marinate for 15-30 minutes. Flip tofu halfway through marinating time to make sure all sides soak up the marinade.
2. Place tofu in air fryer basket in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 F. Toss at the 5 minute mark.
3. To make gluten free eliminate soy sauce and use tamari.

Be sure to press tofu before air frying.

1. To make oil free eliminate olive oil and use rice wine vinegar.excess
