Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra firm tofu approx. 400g; 1 standard block
- 2 tbsp soy sauce approx. 30ml
- 1 tsp vegetable oil approx. 5ml
- 1 tbsp cornstarch approx. 8g
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp salt approx. 3g
- ¼ tsp black pepper freshly cracked
Instructions
- Wrap tofu in a clean tea towel or paper towels. Place a heavy object (such as a cast-iron skillet or plate) on top and press for 10 minutes to remove moisture.
- Cut tofu into bite-size cubes. Place cubes in a medium bowl, add soy sauce and vegetable oil, and gently toss to coat. Allow to marinate for about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper onto the tofu cubes. Toss gently until evenly coated.
- Arrange tofu cubes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces for maximum crispiness. Cook at 390°F for 10 minutes total, shaking the basket after 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or condiment. Sriracha mayo recommended!
