This 10 minute crispy Air Fryer Tofu is the perfect snack or great to add in to your favorite vegetarian bowl or entrée. It's so versatile and can be seasoned in so many ways. My kids love eating these tofu "nuggets"!
View original recipe on tastesbetterfromscratch.comPress Liquid From Tofu: cut your tofu slab in half lengthwise and wrap each half in several paper towels. Lay the halves side by side and place a large cutting board over top. Place something heavy on the cutting board (a block of knives, cast iron pan, cans) and let it rest for 15 minutes, to press some of the liquid out. The more liquid removed, the crispier it will get.
Mix Seasoning: Add cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to a ziplock bag.
Cut Tofu: Cut tofu slabs into 1/2’’ cubes or smaller (the smaller the cubes, the crispier it will get). Add tofu to seasoning mixture and gently toss to coat on all sides.
Air Fry: Pre-heat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Place tofu in single layer (trying to separate them so that they don’t touch) in air fryer, cooking in multiple batches if needed. Spray the top of the tofu with cooking spray and air fry for 5 minutes. Open the basket, flip tofu, spray tops again and air fry 3-5 more minutes or until crisp to your liking.
Serve Air Fryer Tofu with dipping sauce or add to your favorite bowl, burrito, wrap, or salad.
