Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Air Fryer Tofu

  • Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  • Cube the pressed tofu into 1-inch bite-sized cubes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Gently add the cubed tofu to the marinade, tossing to coat each piece evenly and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the basket.
  • Air fry the marinated tofu cubes for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Serve warm with rice, quinoa, or wraps.

Notes

Store leftover tofu in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze and reheat at 375°F.
