Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a large bowl and gently stir to mix the ingredients and evenly coat the tofu.

  2. Arrange the tofu pieces in a single layer in your air fryer basket, so they are not touching. Cook them in batches if necessary.

  3. Air fry the tofu at 425°F for 15 minutes, until browned and crispy.

  4. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

*Extra-firm tofu could be substituted. You'll need to press it first.

Oven instructions: Place coated tofu pieces on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for about 30 minutes, flipping  halfway through.
