Instructions
Time needed: 25 minutes
Air Fried Tofu is a quick, yet delicious way of cooking tofu to play around with whatever spice mix you can come up. This is an easy and tasty alternative that we highly recommend to quicken your culinary experience .
- Step 1
Whisk up your sauce. Cornstarch (2.5 tablespoons), nutritional yeast (2.5 tablespoons), soy sauce (2 tablespoons), and oil (2 tablespoons). Add a bit of all-purpose spice mix. There’s your batter!
- Step 2
Rip your tofu and toss it in. We prefer to rip the tofu apart because it gets those fun craggly edges that hold onto all the batter. Just rip, toss it in, and give it a gentle stir to coat.
- Step 3
Air fry for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees F. We recommend 8-10 minute to start. Then give it a shake, and finish for another 5 minutes to get it extra nice and golden.
