Air Fryer Tofu

Step 1

Wrap drained tofu in tea towel or paper towel.

Step 2

Place wrapped tofu on plate to catch water.

Place a heavy pan on top of the wrapped tofu, like a cast iron skillet or a pot filled with food cans. Let sit for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) to press tofu.

Step 4

Unwrap tofu*. Cut into desired shape (we prefer 1 inch cubes or flatter 2 inch squares).

Step 5

Place tofu cubes in air fryer. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Step 6

Close air fryer. Set air fryer to 390 degrees for 16 minutes, opening to shake/move tofu cubes every 5 minutes to cook pieces evenly.

Step 7

After 5 minutes it starts to brown.

Step 8

At 10 minutes the tofu starts to crisp and brown some more.

Step 9

At 16 minutes, tofu will be crisp on the outside and soft inside.
