Step 1

Cut tofu and tempeh into cubes. Place in a bowl and add cooking oil and salt. Gently toss to coat.

Step 2

Preheat air fryer at 180°C/356°F for 5 minutes. Add tofu and tempeh to air fryer basket and spread evenly. Cook in the air fryer at 180°C/356°F for 15 minutes, taking it out halfway to shake the basket for even cooking. Cook in batches if needed, do not crowd the basket or overlap the tofu and tempeh.
