Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce or 454 gram) package super firm tofu*, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or high-heat oil of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Optional spices, such as cumin, smoked paprika, ginger, onion powder, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients into a large bowl and gently stir to mix the ingredients and evenly coat the tofu.
  • Arrange the tofu pieces in a single layer in your air fryer basket, so they are not touching. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Air fry the tofu at 425°F for 15 minutes, until browned and crispy.
  • Serve immediately.

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.
