Air Fryer Tofu in 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 14 oz Firm Tofu (pressed and cut into 1‑inch cubes)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil (for light coating; can be sprayed from a spray bottle)
• 0.5 tsp Salt (fine sea salt)
• 0.25 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

1. Press and Drain Tofu

   Remove tofu from its package, discard excess liquid, and press between paper towels or a tofu press for about 5 minutes to remove excess moisture.

   Time: PT5M

2. Cut Tofu into Cubes

   Place the pressed tofu on a cutting board and cut into uniform 1‑inch cubes so they cook evenly.

   Time: PT5M

3. Season and Lightly Oil

   Transfer tofu cubes to a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper, and toss gently until all pieces are lightly coated.

   Time: PT2M

4. Preheat Air Fryer (Optional)

   If your air fryer has a preheat function, set it to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes before adding the tofu.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 380°F

5. Air Fry Tofu

   Arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket, spray the top lightly with olive oil, set to the chicken setting at 380°F (193°C) and cook for 25 minutes, shaking the basket or turning pieces halfway through.

   Time: PT25M

   Temperature: 380°F

6. Check Crispness and Serve

   After 25 minutes, open the basket; tofu should be golden‑brown and crisp on the outside. Remove with tongs and serve immediately, optionally with a dipping sauce.

   Time: PT2M
