AIR FRYER TOFU
These crispy tofu bites are great as a snack, a topping for a salad, or added to a stir-fry. You may have to cook these in two batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.

EASY AIR FRYER TOFU
My kids are huge tofu fans and we always order fried tofu when we are doing take-out. So we tried to make fried tofu at home with our air fryer and it turned out great and was very easy. I spiced it very lightly because the kids don't like a lot of spice, but feel free to increase and vary the spices.

Steps:
- Cut block of tofu in half vertically and set side by side on a plate lined with multiple layers of paper towels. Add a thick layer of paper towels on top, weigh down with a heavy object (I used my bread box) and press for 30 minutes to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Drizzle with soy sauce and carefully toss to coat.
- Combine cornstarch, onion powder, paprika, and white pepper in a small bowl. Add to tofu and carefully coat tofu with cornstarch mixture. Drizzle with sesame oil. Place tofu pieces in one layer in the basket of your air fryer. You might need to work in batches.
- Air-fry at 390 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 6 minutes. Turn tofu pieces over and air-fry until crispy, about 6 more minutes.

AIR-FRYER TOFU
This Asian-inspired air-fryer tofu recipe was the first meatless meal my fiance made for me. It's a wonderful light protein and is so easy to pair with broiled or grilled veggies such as eggplant, asparagus or even tomatoes. -Emily Steers, Los Angeles, California

- Press liquid from tofu: Either use a Tofu press or cut your tofu slab in half lengthwise and wrap each half in a 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, a few cans, etc.) and let it sit for 15 minutes while the liquid is pressed out of the tofu. The more liquid you remove, the crispier it will get.
- Mix seasoning: Meanwhile, mix cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a ziplock bag.
- Cut Tofu: Cut tofu slabs into ½’’ cubes. The thickness of your tofu cubes will determine how crispy they are on the outside vs. how soft they are on. (If you like extra crispy tofu, cut the tofu into even smaller cubes). Place tofu pieces in cornstarch 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 (you may have to do 2 batches). Spray the top of the tofu with cooking spray (this will help control the powder left over from the cornstarch). Cook for 5 minutes, flip, and spray tops again if you see cornstarch. Air fry 3-5 more minutes or until crisp to your liking. Coat in desired sauce or enjoy plain!

- Make the tofu marinade. In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the marinade and stir well.
- If you've got enough time, let the tofu marinade for about 10-20 minutes for a deeper flavor. If you're short on time, just let it marinade for a minute and then move on to the next step.

- Remove the tofu from the package and drain. With your hands, gently squeeze out as much water as you can without breaking or crushing the block. Lay the tofu flat on a cutting board so the longer edge is towards you, then cut it into four strips. Rotate the strips so that the wider (cut sides) are flat against the cutting board and cut them in half again those you have 8 strips total. Cut the strips crosswise into cubes that are about 1 inch in size (I end up with 5 cubes per strip).
- Line a cutting board or large plate with a clean tea towel (or similar lint-free kitchen towel) or paper towels. Spread the tofu cubes onto it in one layer and lay a second towel on top. Press gently but firmly and change out the towel as needed. The idea is to remove as much water from the tofu as possible.
- In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, syrup, oil, garlic powder, ginger, and hot sauce.
- Place the tofu in a shallow baking dish or medium mixing bowl. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the tofu, then with your hand, toss gently to combine. Let the tofu sit for 15 minutes, tossing it again halfway through. Don’t worry if a few bits crumble. Those will turn deliciously crispy.
