Introduction:
In this blog post, we will be sharing a step-by-step guide to making air fryer crispy tofu, a delicious and healthy vegan dish that's easy to prepare. Air fryer crispy tofu is a great alternative to traditional deep-fried tofu, as it uses less oil and results in a crispy, flavorful tofu that's perfect for snacking or adding to your favorite dishes. So, let's get started!
Step 1: Drain and Press the Tofu
Start by draining the water from a 14-ounce firm tofu block. Once drained, place the tofu on a towel and press down gently to remove any excess moisture. Cut the tofu into three slices by making two cuts, and turn it over to repeat the process.
Step 2: Marinate the Tofu
Next, place the sliced tofu into a plastic bag and add 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 3 tablespoons of sesame oil. Also, add 3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce and mix everything together by sealing the bag and removing any air. Leave the tofu to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the Tofu for Air Frying
After 30 minutes, take the marinated tofu out of the fridge and place it in a bowl. Add some cornstarch to the tofu and shake it up to coat evenly. Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 4: Air Fry the Tofu
Spray some olive oil on the air fryer basket and place the coated tofu slices in the basket, making sure they're evenly spaced out. Spray some olive oil on top of the tofu slices and air fry at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. At the halfway point (10 minutes), flip the tofu slices and spray some olive oil on top. Once the 20 minutes are up, remove the air-fried tofu from the air fryer basket.
Step 5: Add the Final Touches
Garnish the air fryer crispy tofu with some chopped green onions and serve immediately. This vegan dish is perfect for snacking or adding to salads, sandwiches, and bowls.
Conclusion:
Air fryer crispy tofu is a delicious and healthy vegan dish that's easy to prepare using an air fryer. With its crispy texture and flavorful taste, this dish is a perfect addition to any vegan's recipe collection. Give this recipe a try and enjoy the deliciousness of air fryer crispy tofu!
