HOWEVER, I recently got an air-fryer and decided to make tofu in it. To be honest, tofu was never really my favorite food….it’s always mushy, flavorless and boring. They’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and literally are the yummiest way to enjoy a block of tofu. Marinate it in your flavoring of choice and then put it into a pre-heated air fryer to cook for about 15 minutes.I have an amazing new recipe for you all for vegan air-fried tofu nuggets. This whole process is simple and I love it for that! All you need to do is press and cut the tofu.

Optional cornstarch- I don’t often use this but you can toss the marinated tofu in a bit of cornstarch to get an even crispier crust on the outside of the tofu!.

Marinade- this consists of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, and garlic.

Firm or extra firm tofu- I do not recommend using anything softer for this recipe as it simply won’t hold up well enough or get crispy at all.

The marinade for this recipe is super basic (just 4 ingredients!) BUT go check out my Tofu Marinades post if you’re looking for more options. I wanted to give you a base recipe to work with but also other some other flavor options so that you can adapt the recipe to your needs and the dish you’re serving the tofu with. Plus, I’m totally convinced that the air fryer produces MAXIMUM crispiness with minimal oil (ie extra un-needed fat). But on the other hand, there’s just something SO nice and simple about popping it in the air fryer and not having to fiddle with the oven. On one hand, I have an oven and could do all of this in my oven.

I’ve mentioned this a LOT lately but I am 1000% air fryer obsessed right now.
