Crispy Air-Fryer Tofu

Crispy tofu can be delicious if it is well cooked and very crispy. After trying dissimilar cooking methods, the air-fryer was the winner. The tofu becomes perfectly crispy and with a lot of flavors from the marinade.

Simplicity: easy

Time Consuming: 45 minutes

Taste: salty

Recommendation: make sure the tofu is very dry.

Ingredients:

One 1-pound block of extra-firm tofu

2 tablespoons soy sauce, gluten-free

2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Himalayan pink salt

Steps:

1- Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place it on a plate or in a baking dish and top it with a skillet. Add canned goods to the skillet to serve as weights and let press for 15 minutes to remove excess water.

2- Cut the tofu into 3/4- to 1-inch cubes.

3- Whisk the soy sauce, sesame or vegetable oil, vinegar, honey, and a large pinch of salt together in a medium bowl.

4- Remove 1/2 teaspoon to a small bowl for the dipping sauce if making.

5- Add the tofu cubes to the remaining mixture and toss gently until the tofu has absorbed all the marinade. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

6- Preheat air fryer to 375°F.

7- Arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer in the air-fryer basket.

8- Cook, shaking the basket a few times for even cooking until the tofu is deep golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.

Enjoy it!
