📝 Preparation Steps

First, you're going to want to press out your tofu. To do this you'll take it out of the package, then wrap it in a kitchen towel or use a tofu press to get out some of the water. This is an essential step for getting nice crispy air fryer tofu!

If you're using a kitchen towel place something heavy on top of the wrapped tofu block. I like to use a couple cast iron skillets. This will help press out the water. Let this sit, being pressed, for ⏱️ 1-2 hours before continuing with this air fried tofu recipe.

Once your tofu has been pressed you can cut it into ~1" cubes and place into a medium-large sized bowl.

Now it's time to season your air fryer tofu! Drizzle on the oil and gently toss it to coat. Then, add the salt or you can pick from the seasoning choices included to make either plain, ranch, garlic & onion or taco air fryer crispy tofu! (See notes section for more info on these seasonings) Season and gently toss again.

Air fry your tofu for a total of ⏱️ 12-15 minutes at 375 degrees F. You want to make sure that you don't skip the air fryer pre-heating step. If yours doesn't have a preheat function you can just set it to the desired temp and let it run for ~⏱️ 5 minutes.

*Note: Check your tofu at ⏱️ 13 minutes. Air fryers can differ depending on the size and it also depends how crispy you want your tofu! I like mine to the ⏱️ 15 minute mark.

Be sure to shake your tofu once halfway through so that it gets evenly crisp!

Now, enjoy your air fryer crispy tofu!!!
